Tender Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb

When I was in graduate school I worked at a Greek restaurant near Charleston, SC (Athens in James Island if you’re wandering!) and fell in love with their leg of lamb-it was always perfectly cooked with the most tender potatoes served along side. They were perfectly seasoned with oregano and lemon, my mouth waters just thinking about it!
