  • 2 tbsp coarsely chopped oregano
  • 2 tsp dried oregano

Combine lemon juice, 1/4 cup oil, rosemary, fresh and dried oregano, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Place lamb in a roasting pan, pour mixture over then turn lamb to coat evenly. Cover lamb with foil and roast for 1 hour.

    3. Remove foil from lamb. Add potatoes to pan. Stir to coat in cooking juices then return to oven and cook, uncovered, for a further hour, turning potatoes occasionally. Remove pan from oven and cover loosely with foil. Stand for 15 minutes.
    4. Place potatoes on a platter. Thinly slice lamb and place on top. Spoon pan juices over. Serve.
