Place in roasting pan along with pork rack and brush some olive oil over each potato. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast rack of pork and potatoes for 1 hour, or until pork reaches your desired degree of doneness. Remove pork from roasting pan, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Mix 1 tablespoon of sage and sea salt in a small bowl and sprinkle over the potatoes. Return potatoes to oven for 5 minutes.
While roast is resting, heat the peppercorn.
Slice rack of pork between the ribs for portioning and serve with the peppercorn sauce, Hasselback potatoes and extra sage-salt on the side.
