Layer the potatoes in a buttered, shallow, ovenproof dish with the shallots, dotting half the butter between layers.
Pour in the hot lamb stock to come level with the top of the potatoes and dot with the remaining butter. Cook in the oven at 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 for 20 minutes after the lamb has been in.
