Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).

Wash and cut your russet potatoes into thin fries. You can leave the skin on or peel them, depending on your preference.

In a large bowl, combine the Za'atar seasoning, olive oil, and salt. Mix well.

Add the potato fries to the bowl and toss them with the seasoning mixture until they are well coated.

Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to spread them out evenly so they cook evenly.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the fries for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the Za'atar fries with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Soak and Dry for Maximum Crispness 💧
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry before tossing with oil—this creates the crispiest exterior possible.
Separate Za'atar Application Timing ✨
Add half the za'atar before baking and the remaining half immediately after removing from the oven to preserve the bright, fresh flavor notes that heat diminishes.
Uniform Sizing for Even Cooking 📏
Cut all fries to identical thickness (about ¼-inch) to ensure even baking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
Two-Temperature Oven Technique 🔥
Start baking at 425°F for 20 minutes, then increase to 450°F for the final 10-15 minutes to develop a golden, crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender.
Oil-Coating Perfection 🫒
Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil and toss fries thoroughly on a sheet pan rather than in a bowl—this ensures even coating and prevents pooling that creates soggy spots.
