    Ingredients

    All the ingredients you need to make roasted potatoes with za'atar.
    • Potatoes - you can use any potatoes you want, but I suggest sticking to the waxy ones since they are the best for making roasted za'atar potatoes.
    • Olive oil - extra virgin olive oil, if possible.
    • Za'atar - Middle Eastern spice mixture that you can easily purchase in the spice section of big supermarkets.
    • Salt & ground black pepper - just use your favorite brand for the base seasoning of your za'atar potatoes.

    Preparation

    Start making roasted za'atar potatoes by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Rinse, peel, and chop the potatoes.

    For reference, I chop a medium-sized potato into four portions.

    Place the chopped potatoes in a bowl.

    Add the olive oil, za'atar, salt, and pepper.

    Adding oil and za'atar to potatoes, for roasting.

    Combine everything evenly.

    Make sure that the potatoes are coated with oil and spices.

    Mix the chopped potatoes with all the seasonings and za'atar spices.

    Transfer the potatoes with za'atar to a baking tray.

    Move them around to allow some space in between.

    Place the tray in the oven for thirty-five to forty minutes or until the potatoes are golden.

    Transfer your roasted za'atar potatoes into plates and serve --- garnish them with chopped, fresh parsley, if desired.

    Helpful tips

    • You can keep the potato skins on if that's what you prefer for making za'atar potatoes.  Just rinse (perhaps scrub) them properly before chopping.
    • If you don't have a baking tray, a ceramic or glass baking dish can also be used for roasting these potatoes with za'atar.

    • Other types of oil.  Canola oil, sunflower, or coconut oil are examples of other oil varieties that you can substitute for olive oil in this za'atar potatoes recipe.
    • Additional herbs.  You can play with your favorite spices and add them to the mix.
