Rustic Whiskey-Glazed Rosemary Lamb Skewers Over Buttery Country Mashed Potatoes

Savory lamb skewers with a whiskey glaze and fresh rosemary, served over creamy buttery mashed potatoes for a rustic, comforting meal.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes (including marinating)
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Lamb Skewers:
  • 2 lbs lamb shoulder, cut into large chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons whiskey
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Buttery Country Mashed Potatoes:
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lamb skewers: In a large bowl, combine lamb chunks with olive oil, whiskey, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes: Place peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Return potatoes to the pot and mash with butter, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated lamb chunks onto skewers.
  5. Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until lamb is cooked to desired doneness and edges are slightly charred. Brush with any remaining marinade during cooking.
  6. Serve the lamb skewers over a bed of buttery mashed potatoes.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
