Ingredients:
1 Lamb leg (3 kg.)
Plenty olive oil
Sea salt
For the smashed potatoes:
10 potatoes, peeled
3/4 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/4 cup Milk
1 tbsp. Butter
Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180º/350ºF.
2. Cover a baking tray with foil.
3. Rub the lamb leg with a lot of olive oil and sea salt.
4. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until very brown and golden - the meat will separate from the bones.
5. Boil water in a big pot and cook potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until soft.
6. Smash them with a fork and add the cheddar cheese, milk, butter, salt and pepper.
7. Separate the lamb meat from the bones and cut the skin in chunks.
8. Add 2 cups of the boiling water (in which you cooked the potatoes) to the tray to remove all the grease of the lamb and mix well. You can use this liquid as gravy for the lamb and smashed potatoes.
