Kafta bil Sayniyeh (Kafta with Potatoes)
Spiced ground beef kafta baked in a tray with sliced potatoes, tomatoes, and tahini sauce.
Why It Works
The kafta releases its fat into the potatoes during baking, flavoring them deeply. The tahini sauce poured over halfway through creates a creamy crust on top.
