6mediumsPotatoes; scrubbed, then
; halved
2teaspoonsOlive oil
3Baby lamb racks
2tablespoonsRed currant jelly
1tablespoonMustard seeds
Few sprigs fresh rosemary
1largeJuicy lemon

Directions

Preheat the oven to hot (200 deg C). The first step is to rub cut-side of potatoes with oil then put potatoes in the oven directly on the oven rack (cut-side down) so they start cooking (see recipe following for Crunchy dry-baked potatoes). To prepare the lamb racks, trim away skin and most of the fat. Season meat with freshly milled black pepper and just a little salt (optional). Put into a baking dish and roast in a hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from oven and spread with the red currant jelly and scatter over mustard seeds and rosemary leaves. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over the racks then roast for a further 15 to 20 minutes (or to taste). Remove lamb from oven, let stand for a few minutes then cut into cutlets.Serve hot with the crunchy dry-baked potatoes and hot vegetables or alternatively accompany with a big green salad. Serves 6.

Crunchy dry-baked potatoes: Scrub unpeeled potatoes and cut each one in halves. Rub the cut-side with a smear of oil and place on the oven rack, cut-side down. Small potatoes could be speared with a skewer to prevent them falling through bars. Roast in a hot oven, and turn once during cooking. Allow 40 to 50 minutes, depending on size. When cooked, these potatoes should be floury in the middle with a light crispy skin.
