Be really careful when you cut these to not cut your thumb off! Tuck that thumb in and watch my knife skills video again. Feel free to get creative with these and add fresh garlic and your favorite fresh herbs (dill, parsley, rosemary or basil are my top choices).
Slice a very thin piece of the potato off horizontally, so that the potato has a flat surface to rest on. Slice the potato vertically, almost finishing the slice but not quite.
Add the olive oil, garlic powder, za’atar and salt and rub in well into the creases.
