Ingredients

2 rib racks of lamb, trimmed (about 1 1/2 pounds each)

1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 shallots or 1/4 red onion, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

1/2 teaspoon crushed dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds)

1 tablespoon olive oil

24 spears asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F. Score the fat on the lamb in a crisscross fashion. Cover exposed rib ends with foil and rub lamb with mustard.

In a small bowl, combine rosemary, parsley, shallots, thyme and salt; sprinkle on lamb. Place lamb in a shallow baking pan; bake for 35-40 minutes.

Slice potatoes lengthwise into 3/8-inch pieces. Using a 2-inch star cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Toss potatoes with oil and place in baking pan around lamb. Continue baking until lamb is medium (150F on an instant-read thermometer) and potato stars are golden, about 40 minutes longer. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.

Clean asparagus, trimming off tough stem ends, if necessary. Place in a large skillet with 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil; simmer 5-10 minutes, until asparagus is just tender.

Using a sharp knife, cut rack of lamb between ribs to form chops. Place 2 chops on each individual plate. Serve the lamb chops with potato stars and asparagus.
