Lamb chops with potatoes in the oven

For a long time now i wanted to cook lamb chops in the oven and since we went yesterday to the Swedish food market when i saw them i bought them immediately and i cooked them, so here is the recipe.

You will need :
(for 2 persons)

10-12 pieces of lamb chops (you can buy more if you are more people)
8-10 Small potatoes
Olive oil
Salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, coriander, rosemary, chilly
4-5 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon mustard

Wash the meat very well and put it in a big bowl, add the spices, the mustard, the garlic (cut it in small pieces) and some olive oil, cover the bowl with aluminum foil and put it in the fridge for some hours or even better for the hole night and cook it the next day. The meat will be softer and more tasteful.

When you want to cook them, put them in an oven pan and use the olive oil from the bowl, add some water in it and this will be your sauce.

Preheat the oven at 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes and then put the meat inside. After 15 minutes you will see that the meat looks more white, turn all the pieces so the other side will get white also and then cover the oven pan with aluminum foil and low the heat at 180 degrees and let it cook for about 3 hours. You can check the meat every 1 hour and turn the pieces over, from time to time. When the meat is ready remove the aluminum foil, put the heat back at the 200 degrees and let it cook for about 10 minutes (you will see that it is getting a nice color and then turn all the pieces so the other side will get the same color.

Because i cook the lamb for so many hours i add the potatoes later, (the potatoes don't need 3 hours to be cooked) about 40 min before the meat is ready. You can cook the potatoes in the same oven pan or in a separate. Remove their skin, wash them well, cut them in small square pieces (or how ever you want them) add some olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, some water and put them in the oven.

When the meat and the potatoes are ready serve them with salad or boiled vegetables and...bon appetit!!!!
