Critical Success Points

• • Heating the skillet until it’s truly hot before adding the lamb ensures a proper sear and prevents the meat from steaming.
• • Cooking the lamb only 2 minutes per side keeps it medium‑rare; over‑cooking will make it tough.
• • Pressing the potatoes down in the pan creates a uniform crispy surface.
• • Basting the lamb with butter, garlic and mushrooms adds flavor and prevents drying.

Safety Warnings

• • The skillet will be extremely hot – use oven mitts when handling the pan.
• • Raw lamb juices can cause cross‑contamination – wash hands and utensils thoroughly after handling raw meat.
• • Butter can splatter; keep a splatter guard or lid nearby.
