Meanwhile, while the potatoes roast, work on the lamb chops. Dry them off really well with paper towels, then season them with salt and pepper on all sides.
2.5 pounds bone-in lamb loin chops, 2 teaspoons kosher salt , ½ teaspoon course ground black pepper
To a hot skillet, add olive oil, then carefully place the lamb chops in the pan, leaving a little space between them. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until seared on the bottom side, then flip with tongs and cook another 3-4 minutes on the other side to sear.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Spoon the melted butter, garlic, and herbs over the lamb chops while continuing to cook for about 5 more minutes or until the temperature on a digital meat thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the lamb chops reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 cloves garlic , 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Remove the lamb chops from the heat, cover with a piece of foil, then let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing in.
