Butterflied rack of lamb

asparagus

sweet potatoes

shallot

lemon 

I also have on hand most pantry/kitchen staples.  

I'm thinking pan seared lamb with roasted asparagus but what should I do with the sweet potatoes?  Or should I do rice as my starch?

Baked Sweet potatoes, toss them in the oven at 400 for 45 minutes, then just cut them open and put lots of butter and salt and pepper (Or brown sugar if that's your bag)

Do I boil the potatoes just like I would with white potatoes?  

I've never done anything but bake sweet potatoes before!

Yep! I don't think they take quite as long to boil though. DH says 10 minutes less.
