Ingredients

8-10 Potatoes
2-3 Sweet Potato
optional
Fresh bundle Za'atar
4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of Coarse Salt

Directions

Za’atar is a common plant that grows in many parts of the middle east.
It looks like Oregano but taste different. It is the predominate component in the famous Za’attar spice mix.

In this simple recipe, with only 4 ingredients we will get simple and crispy potatoes with distinctive Za’atar taste.

Of course, this potatoes recipe will work with any herb like Italian Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary and such.
It won’t work as well with Za’atar mix (as apposed to fresh Za’atar).

Steps

1 Done	Preparation Preheat oven to 430°F/220°C. Wash and dry the potatoes - use your favourite kind, I usually prefer the red kind. If you wish to add sweet potato do so. Place a sheet of baking paper on a baking sheet. Slice the potatoes to very thin slices without breaking the potato shape. Place each sliced potato in a bundle lightly spreading the slices.
2 Done	Seasoning Break apart the fresh Za'atar herb to leaves or small branches and place it in a small bowl. Add a bit of olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) and mix around - this will prevent the Za'atar from totally drying out. Spread the Za'atar on the potatoes, drizzle olive oil (about a teaspoon for every potato). Spread a pinch of salt.
3 Done 45 Min	Bake Place in the oven in a lower (not the lowest) shelf for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!
