Put a medium saucepan of salted water on the boil and cook the potatoes for 20 minutes or until you can easily push a knife through them.
In the meanwhile, heat a frying pan over a low heat, add the butter, sugar and onions and caramelise until golden.
Drain the water from the saucepan and add the milk, salt and pepper to the potatoes.Using a potato masher, mash potatoes until smooth and creamy and mix in the caramelised onions. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and cook the chops in batches to your preferred doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Serve the succulent lamb chops over the onion mashed potatoes.
