Arrange hot potatoes on a platter, add skewers. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges and optional garlic yogurt sauce.
- For more tender and flavorful meat, marinate the lamb overnight (12h).
- Choose shoulder for more flavor, leg for more tenderness, or a mix of both.
- Do not pierce the meat during cooking to keep the juices inside.
- For crispier potatoes, space them well on the tray and do not cover them.
- Resting the meat after cooking is essential for even juice distribution.
- Serve with a green salad (mesclun, arugula) or a tomato and red onion salad. Wine pairing: bold red (Cahors, Côtes-du-Rhône) or fruity Provence rosé.
