Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Lamb Chops Over Creamy Rustic Mashed Potatoes

Pan-seared lamb chops with garlic butter, served over creamy mashed potatoes.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 lamb loin chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While potatoes cook, pat lamb loin chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in rosemary and thyme.
  5. Return lamb chops to the skillet, turning to coat with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional minute, spooning the sauce over the chops.
  6. Mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or fork, leaving some chunks for a rustic texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the lamb chops over a bed of creamy rustic mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce on top.
