Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Use convection mode if available.
Prepare the potatoes: quarter 300 g baby potatoes and peel and slice 1 large sweet potato into pieces similar in size to the potato quarters.
In a large bowl, combine the quartered baby potatoes, sliced sweet potato, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp oregano, ¼ tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, and 2–3 tbsp olive oil. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
While the potatoes roast, make the tahini yogurt sauce: in a food processor or blender, combine 400 g Greek yogurt, 100 g tahini, the juice of 1 lemon, 40 ml olive oil, 20–30 ml water, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth, adding more water within the 20–30 ml range if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter. Drizzle or spoon the tahini yogurt sauce over the potatoes.
Finish with finely chopped fresh parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Chef’s tip:
Carrots also work beautifully in this recipe. Just slice them similarly to the sweet potato and roast them together.
