# Instructions:

01 - Okay, first things first, let's get those lamb chops ready! Pat them super dry with paper towels; this is key for a good sear. Sprinkle them generously with salt, pepper, and a bit of that smoked paprika. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's shimmering. Now, carefully place the lamb chops in the hot pan, searing them for about 2-3 minutes per side until they're golden brown and crusty. You're not cooking them through, just building flavor. Honestly, this step makes all the difference, don't skip it like I almost did once!
02 - While your chops are getting their golden glow, peel and chop your Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1.5-inch chunks. Try to keep them similar in size so they cook evenly. Then, thinly slice your yellow onion and mince all that glorious garlic. This is where the kitchen starts to smell amazing, I swear! I usually chop extra garlic because, well, it's garlic. Toss the potatoes, onion, and garlic right into your Crockpot. This step is pretty straightforward, but sometimes I get distracted by the searing smell and forget to chop everything evenly. Oops!
03 - Once the lamb chops are beautifully seared, carefully transfer them on top of the potatoes, onion, and garlic in the Crockpot. Try to spread them out a bit so everything gets cozy. This layering helps ensure all the flavors meld together wonderfully as it slow cooks. It’s like building a flavor fortress, you know? I love seeing all the fresh ingredients piled up, knowing it’s going to be something special.
04 - Now, pour in your chicken or beef broth. Add the Worcestershire sauce, and tuck in those fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Give everything another sprinkle of salt, pepper, and the rest of the smoked paprika. Make sure the liquid covers most of the potatoes and lamb. If it looks a little low, add a splash more broth. This is where I sometimes get a little heavy-handed with the herbs, but honestly, it always tastes great!
05 - Put that lid on and set your Crockpot to LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 3.5-4 hours. I usually go for low if I'm out for the day, but high works beautifully for a quicker weeknight meal. The aroma that fills your kitchen during this time? Pure bliss, I promise. The lamb will become incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the potatoes will be soft and creamy. You'll know it's ready when everything is fork-tender.
06 - About 15-20 minutes before serving, open the Crockpot and carefully remove the herb sprigs (they've done their job!). Stir in the heavy cream until it's well combined and the sauce is wonderfully thick and luxurious. Let it warm through for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed – sometimes it just needs a little extra salt or pepper to sing! Garnish with fresh parsley. The Creamy Garlic Lamb Chops & Potatoes Crockpot dish is ready to make your taste buds happy!

# Notes:

01 - A little sear on the lamb chops before they hit the Crockpot? Oh, it makes all the difference, trust me.
02 - Leftovers taste even better the next day, but remember to stir in a splash of milk or broth when reheating if the sauce looks too thick.
03 - Swapped out lamb for pork chops once, and while different, it was still pretty darn good in a pinch.
04 - Serve this with a crusty piece of bread to soak up all that amazing creamy garlic sauce – you won't regret it!
