Combine lamb with garlic, juice, oil, oregano and thyme in large bowl. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C (fan forced). Place lamb in large baking dish; roast, uncovered, 4 hours.
Then, to make skordalia, toss potato in large bowl with combined remaining ingredients; place, in single layer, on oven tray. Cook potato, uncovered, for last 30 minutes of lamb cooking time.
Remove lamb from oven; cover to keep warm. Increase oven temperature to 220°C/200°C fan-forced; roast potatoes, uncovered, 20 minutes or until crisp and tender. Serve potatoes and lamb with skordalia.
Skordalia
Boil, steam or microwave potato until tender; drain. Push potato through food mill or fine sieve into large bowl; cool 10 minutes. Add garlic, juice, vinegar and the water to potato; stir until well combined. Place potato mixture in blender; with motor operating, gradually add oil in a thin, steady stream, only until skordalia thickens (do not overmix). Stir in the water.
