Smoked Irish-Style Lamb and Potatoes

As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, we like to share Irish-themed dishes enjoy and celebrate the day.  Truthfully, it’s just another excuse to grill grill grill! This week, we have Smoked Irish-Style Lamb and Potatoes, a grilling enthusiast’s take on roast and potatoes.  Featuring fresh rosemary and garlic, this preparation cooks everything together in the smoker.

Begin by butterflying the lamb leg in order to season it with a spice mixture of rosemary, garlic, black pepper, and salt.  After the rub, close the lamb leg and secure with kitchen twine for grilling.  Begin cooking the lamb in the smoker on the top shelf.  After an hour, prepare a grill pan with the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper, and then season with garlic, salt, and pepper.  Place this pan under the lamb to catch all the dripping while finishing preparation. When finished, the lamb and vegetables will be tender, juicy, and succulent – perfect for an Irish-American holiday.
