Instructions

  1. Wash and dry produce. Open the package of potatoes and drain off any excess liquid. Quarter the lemon.
  2. Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season with half the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer lamb to a cutting board. Wipe out the pan.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter (4 tablespoons for 4 servings) in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes; season with garlic powder, remaining Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook, undisturbed, until potatoes are warmed through and crispy on one side, 3-5 minutes. Stir gently, scraping up any crispy bits from the bottom. Tip: If potatoes begin to stick, add a splash of water.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mixed greens, Caesar dressing, croutons, half the Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4 servings), salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Tip: For extra crunch, crush croutons in the bag with your hands before adding.
  5. Thinly slice the lamb chops against the grain. Divide the sliced lamb, salad and potatoes between plates. Drizzle the lamb with balsamic glaze to taste and top the salad with remaining Parmesan. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Recipe Tips

For best results, let the lamb rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, cook them a bit longer without stirring.

Adjust the amount of balsamic glaze to your taste-it’s sweet and tangy, so a little goes a long way.

FAQ

Can I use a different cut of meat?

Yes, you can substitute the lamb chops with beef steak or chicken breast. Adjust cooking time accordingly.

How do I make the potatoes extra crispy?

Make sure the pan is hot before adding the potatoes and don’t overcrowd them. Cook undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a golden crust.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, use a dairy-free butter substitute and omit the Parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative. The Caesar dressing typically contains dairy, so check the label.
