Zaatar is a herb used in the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Zaatar is generally prepared using dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, or some combinations of other spices too.
For the marathon this week the theme is Condiment from Countries, wherein we have to choose condiments, sauces, spreads or seasonings - its week 3 - day 16.

Pour the potatoes along with the marinade onto a baking sheet. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring the potatoes with a fork after 20 minutes. Enjoy .... These are yummy and flavorful, can be served as starters too.
