Leg of lamb/potatoes

[supercee]

I am cooking a 2kg leg of lamb today. It's currently sitting slathered in a butter/garlic/rosemary mixture. Not going to slow cook it.

I'm puzzled about the potatoes though. Can I just bung them in with the lamb but won't they be soggy? I would've preferred to par boil, rough them up and cook in the leftover fat while the lamb rests but is that long enough? That's the juices for my gravy..

Any help appreciated! I only gave a small single oven.

Cook in a separate roasting tray in oil?

Agree with PP - cook in a separate roasting tray (perhaps to coincide with the 20mins or so resting time once your lamb is out of the oven)?

My potatoes were done in a separate tray with salt, olive oil, garlic and Rosemary. That way you can use the meat juices in the gravy.

I only ever drizzle a small amount of olive oil over lamb as it produces enough of its own fat to cook in.

Thanks all, that's what I'm going to do. Separate tray for the roasties.

Enjoy! I can’t bloody move right now as I’ve eaten too much.

Pour out the lamb juices for the gravy, and while it’s resting, roast the potatoes in the tin with the leftover fat. Best roasties ever

Roast potatoes take 45 minutes. So there may be an overlap, unless you plan to rest the meat for a longer time.
