Greek Lamb and Potatoes
I had a lovely bone-in Irish half leg of lamb, and I quite like the ease and results of doing it in the classic Greek fashion.
I fairly closely followed this recipe:

So cooking it in the Instant Pot.
No wine, but a bit of apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan properly, and a bit less water, as most recipes really overestimate how much water you need in the Instant Pot. If anything I should have used even less, as I had over two cups of liquid left even after adding lots of juices back to the lamb on the serving plate.
For the potatoes again, I followed the suggestion from above which was this recipe:

They were fantastic- I will totally be roasting potatoes like this again. So simple & just perfect. Cut ‘em up, toss ‘em in a few simple things in a roasting pan and whack it in the oven for 45 mins as high as it goes (for me anyway). I did turn them half way through.
I served it basically as shown, but with the additional of a heap of parsley that I finely chopped and spread amongst the falling apart lamb, and a splash of peas over the top of the lot of it.
I thought it was great, although the lamb dries quickly, so shred as you serve (it should just all fall apart easily anyway), rather than exposing it all and drying it out.
L thought it was great and I was pretty happy too. G liked the potatoes, and ate his lamb, but I think he let his get a bit dry.
Enough left over for some gyros or equivalent for lunch tomorrow. Yum.
