How to Make Arni Psito Roast Leg Of Lamb

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
2. Place the lamb leg, fat-side up, in a shallow roasting pan.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of 1 lemon.
4. Rub the olive oil and lemon mixture all over the lamb.
5. Season generously with 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 4 cloves minced garlic.
6. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
7. Roast the lamb for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 175-180°F (79-82°C).
8. Optional: About 40 minutes before the lamb is done, add 6 large potatoes, peeled and quartered, around the lamb.
9. Sprinkle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
10. After 20 minutes, turn the potatoes over to ensure even browning.
11. Continue roasting until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
12. Once the lamb reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
