Add the rest of the potatoes and onions and press down to form a cake.

Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or prepare a charcoal grill. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper and grill or broil to desired doneness, 10 to 15 minutes.

For 2 of us, I made 2 potatoes with 2 sm onions and a small rack of lamb rib chops seasoned with rosemary, garlic and s,p, on the grill. And steamed fresh green beans. The potato cake was good but I was afraid it wasn’t cooking through the middle so I cooked it on one side for 12 minutes; on the other side for 8 minutes and then 10 minutes in a 450 F degree oven. It came out crisp and delicious. I used grated cheddar as I had no Leicester.
