# How to Make It:

02 - Set oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
03 - Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly coated. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
04 - Place potatoes in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once midway through, until golden brown and crisp.
05 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove lamb chops from marinade and pat dry. Sear chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
