Steps

About 2 hours

1

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2

Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into wedges. Add them to the bowl with the liquid mixture and toss well. Reserve a little of the mixture for the meat.
3

Transfer the potatoes to a baking pan and add the thyme sprigs.
4

For the onion mixture: Finely chop the green onions, place them in a small bowl, add salt and a little olive oil, and mix.
5

Place the lamb on top of the potatoes. Using a small knife, make holes in the meat and use your finger to fill each hole with a little of the onion mixture.
6

Pour the reserved mixture over the lamb and potatoes so everything is coated. Sprinkle with a little thyme, add the water, and cover with aluminum foil.
7

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 1 hour. Uncover, reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C), and continue baking for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
