Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for baking.
Prepare the lamb rolls: In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb, grated onion, chopped parsley, salt, allspice, and black pepper. Shape the mixture into 2 1/2-inch long rolls and place them in a baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
While the lamb is baking, prepare the potatoes: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and fry until they are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt.
Take the lamb out of the oven and carefully drain any excess fat. Keep the oven on.
Make the tahini sauce: In a food processor, combine the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, cold water, tahini paste, salt, and black pepper. Process until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Arrange the fried potatoes over the baked lamb rolls in the baking dish. Pour the prepared tahini sauce evenly over the potatoes and lamb. Drizzle with olive oil for extra flavor.
Return the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake until the lamb is fully cooked (no longer pink) and a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 minutes.
