2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (2-lb.) boneless lamb shoulder roast, tied with butcher's twine

Instructions

Place a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450ºF.
In a small bowl, mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, and 1 Tbsp. of oil; generously season with salt and pepper. Rub the herb mixture all over the lamb.
In a 13" x 9" baking dish, toss the potatoes with the remaining 2 Tbsp. of oil; season with salt and pepper. Place the lamb on top of the potatoes.
