  This was a delicious recipe, enjoyed immensley by all! Although we bought a 2kg leg of lamb and this recommended a lot longer to cook that this recipe, so we put it in the oven alone before all the potatoes, and it worked out great!

  I made this for Easter lunch. That was very tasty. I used other ham, not parma and didn't make gravy.

  Scrumptious! Will make this one again and again. Didn't have a food processor, but chopped the "stuffing" ingredients finely and bashed them up a bit with a pestle and mortar. Worked a treat, and liked the rough texture.

  Cooked this for Easter Saturday dinner for friends. They ended up helping themselves to thirds (I like feeding marathon runners...!) and loved every mouthful. Delish...

  Made this last night for my friends. Went down a treat and I as the Chef enjoyed it too (which is always the opposite as I'm super critical). It was delicious and such an easy dish and it was so nice to be able to concentrate on chatting and catching up and just serve up. I think I might try the rack idea (as mentioned above) as my potatoes turned a bit mashy...but all in all the best thing I've ever cooked! Enjoy!

  Try replacing the parma ham with anchovies, they melt into the lamb and the taste combination is better - even for anchovy haters, they won't notice a thing!

  A-may-zing!!!!! Never tasted lamb so delicious. The potatoes made nice change to roasts and were more "summey" and the flavour was gorgeous. I was going to put lamb on rack but in the end I just scooped out some of the potatoes from under the lamb and it was nice to have mixture of soft and crispy potatoes. The gravy the juices made was heavenly - might be a winner for family feast for 26 in France later this year - yum!

  I tried this last week, the lamb was not too bad. However, the potatoes were fine on top but not so nice below. I think there is too much stock, watch out. Extra rosemary is also no problem.

  The potatoes are amongst the best I've ever had. I've repeated this a few times now and no longer bother with the parma ham. I don't think this dish really it needs it.
