Boil the potatoes with their skins on in salted water until cooked through.

Mix olive oil, fenugreek, thyme, salt, and pepper.

If you have an electric waffle maker or a sandwich press with a lid, lightly grease it with oil. Place a potato inside, press it down to flatten it, and cook until it takes the shape of a waffle and develops a golden crust. Remove and place on a plate, then brush with the spiced oil.

If you don’t have a waffle maker, smash the potatoes with the bottom of a glass to form patties. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush them with the spiced oil, and bake or grill them for 15–20 minutes until they develop a golden crust.

Serve as a side dish to chicken with pomegranate and honey sauce.
