Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Boil Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot with water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and cool slightly. Smash each potato gently.
  4. In a large bowl, toss smashed potatoes with hot olive oil and sprinkle with za’atar.
  5. Place the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  6. While baking, prepare tahini yogurt by whisking tahini, lemon juice, salt, and water together.
  7. Serve baked potatoes warm, drizzled with tahini yogurt.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the baking sheet and flip the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness.
