🧂 Ingredients Needed

• potatoes - any kind of potatoes will work great for this recipe.

🔪 Instructions

1. Cut your potatoes into bite sized pieces, then combine oregano, paprika, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
2. Place the lamb in the air fryer basket and arrange the potatoes in a single layer around it, then drizzle with olive oil and season with spice blend.
3. Air fry at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, removing the roast about 5 degrees before desired done-ness. Allow the roast to rest, then carve and serve!

❔ FAQs

💭 Expert Tips and Tricks

• Be sure to monitor the roast's internal temperature with a meat thermometer as it cooks so you can remove it from the air fryer about 5 degrees before the desired temperature. It will continue to cook from residual heat.
• Here's a breakdown of cook times:
• For a roast cooked rare, aim for 110 degrees F.
• Medium rare: 120 degrees F.
• Medium: 140-145 degrees F.
• Medium well/well: 150 degrees F. (Cooking past medium isn't recommend, as it can make the lamb tough and hard to eat.)

📌 You'll love this easy air fryer lamb as an impressive and filling meal for special occasions, date nights, and holidays! But don't let that stop you from serving it on a weeknight if you have a craving; with only 20 minutes of cooking time, this can be a fast and simple weeknight dinner!

💡 Substitutions and Variations

• Serve with mint jelly or your favorite sauce to customize to your taste!
• Feel free to edit the spice blend used for the lamb and potatoes. Other seasonings that would pair well with these flavors are cumin, coriander, mustard powder, onion powder, fresh rosemary, and chili powder. You can also add a pinch of salt if you like.
• Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over top of your finished rack of lamb for extra flavor!
• Add a few fresh garlic cloves among the potatoes.

🥫 Storage and Reheating

Store our lamb and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

To reheat, you can place them back in the air fryer at 325 degrees or so and cook until heated through. The lamb can also be reheated covered in the microwave, but the air fryer is the best way to reheat the potatoes so they don't get mushy or soggy.

🍴 What To Serve With This Dish

While this air fryer lamb recipe has potatoes built in and makes for a full meal on its own, here are a few other sides to serve if you want a full-blown feast! Pair with Air Fryer Broccoli, Cucumber Salad, Air Fryer Roasted Carrots, or a Chipotle Lime Edamame Salad.
