Method

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 180° C and set a heavy ovenproof pot nearby. Position a rack in the center so the lamb and potatoes brown evenly.

Prep the ingredients

Cut the Lamb Shoulder into large bone-in pieces if needed, peel the Potatoes, and cut them into thick wedges. Mince the Garlic and juice the Lemon so everything is ready to season quickly.

Mix the marinade

Whisk together Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the lemon juice, the garlic, dried oregano, dried rosemary, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Add the lamb and potatoes and toss until everything is evenly coated, then tip it into the heavy ovenproof pot and tuck the potato wedges around the meat. Pour in Water around the edge of the pot.

Roast covered

Cover the pot tightly and roast for 75 minutes. Uncover, spoon some of the pan juices over the lamb and potatoes, and roast for 45 minutes more until the potatoes are tender and the top is a deep golden brown.
