Begin with a prayer.

Prepare 6 lamb chops for marinating.

Make a marinade with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey.

Add rosemary garlic seasoning to the marinade and mix well.

Coat the lamb chops with the marinade and let them rest for about 30 minutes.

Prepare the potatoes by seasoning them with garlic salt, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 2 pinches of salt.

Place the seasoned potatoes in a frying pan with a couple of tablespoons of water and cover to steam.

After a few minutes, add 2 tablespoons of butter and fresh garlic to the pan with the potatoes.

Heat the pan and ensure the potatoes are dry before adding oil for crispiness.

Add the lamb chops to a separate skillet with a tablespoon of grapeseed oil and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Remove the lamb chops and leave the remnants in the skillet to make gravy.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the skillet and slowly add water to create a gravy, along with a little more red wine vinegar.

Simmer the gravy for about 10 minutes and taste for seasoning, adding a pinch of salt if needed.

Once the potatoes are tender, add the lamb chops back into the skillet with the potatoes and pour some gravy over them.

Garnish with parsley before serving.
