Directions

Hasselback Potatoes:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Place each potato between 2 chopsticks and slice it crosswise into thin slices, leaving ¼ in at one end intact.
3. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and season heavily with olive oil, salt and black pepper. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until tender and crisp.
4. Set aside to cool.

Candied Lamb Prime Rib:

1. In a small bowl, mix the lamb with the remaining ingredients until the meat is completely coated. Spread the lamb and marinade in a skillet.
2. Roast in a 450°F oven for 5 minutes, until slightly crisp.
3. Remove from the oven and immediately cool down the lamb to use later for service.

Roasted Cremini Mushrooms:

1. In a mixing bowl, gently toss the mushrooms with the remaining ingredients to coat. Spread the mushrooms on a lined baking sheet.
2. Roast in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes, until browned.
3. Remove from the oven and cool down for service.

Pickled Fresno Chiles:

1. Bring the pickle brine to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Remove from the heat and add the sugar and vinegar.
3. Pour over the chiles in a heatproof container while still hot. Refrigerate and chill for at least 12 hours. Use for up to 5 days.

Jalapeño Chimichurri:

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Pulse 3-4 times, until all ingredients combine into a saucy consistency.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to blend the flavors. Use within 48 hours.

For service:

1. For each serving, place a large cast-iron skillet in a wood-fired oven or over a grill to pre-heat the pan.
2. Reheat the Hasselback Potatoes in a 450°F oven until hot and crisp.
3. Using a small sauté pan, sear the Candied Lamb Prime Rib 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the Roasted Cremini Mushrooms and sauté until hot, 2 additional minutes.
5. At the same time, cook 3 eggs in a nonstick skillet to sunny side up. Slide them into the middle of the preheated cast-iron skillet.
6. Place the reheated potatoes around the outside of the eggs haphazardly.
7. Nestle all of the hot lamb prime rib and mushrooms in between each Hasselback potato around the eggs.
8. Sprinkle with the Pickled Fresno Chiles and drizzle the Jalapeño Chimichurri over the top of the potatoes and hash.
9. Serve with a side of grilled sourdough if requested.
