I did this on the grill using indirect heat method, about 2 1/2 hours. Additional Ingredients used and apple wood chips for some smokey flavor.

I bought mine from Costco. Weighed about 4lbs so I made two roasts out of it because some of us like it more well done vs more rare. Places at lower third of the oven, it took an hour and fifteen minutes to get internal temp to 145℉. Rested twenty minutes. Really easy recipe to follow

Made this and it looked just as the picture shows!  This was my 1st time cooking lamb. The cut I used was a 2.37 pound shoulder roast.  I was very lucky to buy from a local farmer, which it had been recently butchered. (Sept) 
I did use more rosemary and minced garlic then the recipe called for and stuffed it in any cavity I could find as well as the exterior. Then sprigs of rosemary under and around the roast on top of the potatoes.  I’ll agree it’s VERY important not to over COOK, watch your internal temperature carefully. You may be disappointed otherwise. I’ll look forward to using this recipe again.
Used a stainless steel roaster on the lower third rack of the oven.

I followed this recipe using a 2.5lb bone-in lamb roast in a 9x13 Pyrex dish and it was absolute perfection. Just slightly pink and SO tender and juicy. I did baby potatoes and they also turned out perfect. I loved how quick, easy and hands-off it was — I have a toddler and a newborn and it was still easy for me to pull off, and fewer dishes since the potatoes cook with the roast! 
A couple of things to note if you have trouble:
1) Lamb is typically best as far as flavor, tenderness and moistness if served medium rare. That is what the recipe has you cook it to. If you like it more well-done it will take longer and will be more dry. 
2) If you use a bone-in roast, make sure your meat thermometer isn’t touching a bone when you check the temperature — it may give you a higher reading, resulting in an undercooked roast. I almost made that mistake so I thought I’d throw it out there!

This recipe is awesome. I used a 5 lb boneless leg of lamb and it was done in about a 1 <span data-text-size="small">1/2 </span>hours. The potatoes were very flavorful.

I had a 3.5# boneless shoulder roast of lamb. I was a bit apprehensive about cooking at such a high heat for only 1 hour. 
    I added softened butter to the herb mixture and rubbed both inside and out. Then I tied securely and roasted over the baby red potatoes for 1 hour. I pulled the roast out to rest and covered with tin foil for 20 minutes.
     The potatoes were not quite done, so I placed them in the microwave for 5 minutes. Served with baked zucchini sticks.
     This was an easy, no fuss meal and I will definitely cook this again.

This is delicious. Especially the dark crusty stuff on the bottom of the potatoes!

This. Was. Incredible. I have never made lamb before so I was soooo nervous but it turned out absolutely perfect. I’ve made plenty of beef and venison roasts and this turn out more tender, juicy and flavorful than any roast I’ve ever made! The flavor was perfect and the potatoes were delicious as well! My lamb was bone-in but I followed the instructions and just monitored the temperature. 10/10 recommend this recipe!!

For just a dinner for two, I went with a lamb loin.  The downside (and not the recipes fault) it was very fatty.  I wish now I had trimmed most of it off, but lesson learned.  The upside was that it tasted good, not your knock your socks off delicious, but good.  With the leftovers I made a lamb casserole and that was really good.  It's my first experience in cooking lamb and was glad for this easy recipe to get me to try more lamb recipes in the future.  Thanks for posting this recipe.

used this recipe last night.  the roast turned out perfectly.  thank you

Followed your roasting instructions but did my own spices. The roast was at 145 at one hour and 14 minutes :))! Impressive. I covered it with foil after I took it out and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. When I first took it out of the oven, I saw a bit of pink juice coming out of it but after it sat, there was no pink inside and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Mine was from Costco, not sure about the weight. Excellent recipe. Thank you. Will make again. P.S. I only did lamb, no potatoes.

It took way longer than 1.5 hours to fully cook this roast. I had to transfer it to a different pan and continue cooking. The veggies nearly burned but ultimately were okay. I paired this dish with cooked spinach. Thanks for sharing. I will attempt this recipe again.

Yes I would love to see every step of the way...
