Instructions

Season and bake: Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through (about 25-35 minutes, depending on how thick they are cut). In the least five minutes, sprinkle the fries with dukkah and toss to coat. Return to the oven.
Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Assemble and serve: Transfer the fries to a plate, drizzle or serve with the tahini yogurt sauce, and top with feta, olives, pickled red onions, and fresh parsley.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan so the fries crisp up instead of steaming.

If the tahini yogurt sauce is too thick, thin it with a small amount of water or lemon juice until it’s smooth and dippable.

Time hack: Use store-bought frozen French fries for a quicker meal!
