      I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious. I cut some potatoes into quarters and sautéed them a little after the chops to give them color and flavor, then removed them and deglazed the pan. I put the potatoes on the rack in the spaces between the chops and pressure cooked it all together. Easy and tasty. Thanks for a good recipe.

          I wish it had the lbs of lamb it used in the recipe. I cooked alot of lamb. 2 pkgs
          About 7lbs so I ended up overcooking bc I tried to adjust the time accordingly. Came out tasty but not as tender as I expected. Maybe next time:)

      How done will the lamp chops be after following this recipe? I prefer my meat cooked to medium.

      Hi from Wisconsin! So glad I used this recipe for some nice lamb loin chops in the instant pot. Perfectly done! Made some wild rice/mushroom first & it was a great meal! Look forward to more recipes!

      I made this recipe tonight. I like the fact that the lamb did not taste fatty & I used bbq chops which cooked nicely. The gravy was very nice & had a nice heat from the cayenne . I will make this again.

      Just got my instant pot duo 8, and bought some lamb chops! Excited to make this recipe! But why use water to deglaze instead of beef broth? And can you explain how you would make potatoes at the same time? Thx so much

        You can also use broth to deglaze if you prefer. Adjust for salt though.
