Additional Tips
Steamed cabbage or tender stem broccoli are a great accompaniment for this lamb in crust.
If you don't have the tools to grate the potatoes very thin, make a crust from potato mash. Peel and dice them, cook in salted boiling water until tender, then drain and mash. Rectify seasoning and mix in the egg yolk. Press around the meat.
