Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Prepare mashed potatoes according to your preferred recipe and keep warm.
-
Season the lamb racks generously with salt and coarse black pepper.
-
In an oven-proof skillet large enough to hold both racks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
When the oil is hot, add the lamb racks and brown on all sides until golden.
-
Transfer the skillet with the lamb to the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the Irish bangers (sausages) and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Remove the lamb from the oven and brush generously with BBQ sauce.
-
Return the lamb to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes for medium-rare, or 5-10 minutes longer for medium.
-
Remove lamb from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before carving.
-
Divide the mashed potatoes onto four plates.
-
Carve the lamb into individual chops and place three chops on each plate of potatoes.
-
Place two cooked bangers on each plate alongside the lamb and mash.

Note
Use high-quality Irish bangers or a similar pork sausage for best flavor.
For the mashed potatoes, a classic recipe with butter, milk, and salt works well.
Let the lamb rest after roasting to retain juices before carving.
Adjust cooking time based on the size of the lamb racks and desired doneness.
