Za'atar Potato Chips
A Middle Eastern spice mix finds its way to potato-chip-flavor stardom. Vicky Wasik

Za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice mixture most often made with sumac (a tart spice), sesame seeds, thyme, and oregano, gets a new starring role as a flavor for homemade potato chips. Best of all, it's incredibly easy: just sprinkle store-bought za-atar on the freshly fried chips and you're all set.

Note: It's important that the chips are seasoned and flavored as soon as they come out of the oil while they're still hot and glistening.
