👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wash and pierce the potatoes with a fork. Bake for 50–60 minutes until tender inside.
2️⃣ Season the Lamb
Pat the lamb chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and herbs.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
4️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Spoon the garlic butter over the lamb chops for extra flavor.

Steam or sauté the broccoli with olive oil or butter until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
6️⃣ Load the Baked Potato
Slice open the baked potatoes and fluff the inside. Add butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
7️⃣ Plate and Serve
Serve the lamb chops with the loaded baked potato and broccoli on the side. Drizzle extra garlic butter over the lamb for added richness.
