    Meanwhile, toss potatoes and 3 Tbsp. oil on a large rimmed baking sheet; arrange in a single layer. Roast on top rack, undisturbed, until browned and crisp underneath, 20-25 minutes. Turn potatoes over and reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Place cod on a small rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil. Season with salt and sprinkle with za'atar. Slide onto bottom rack in oven and roast until fish flakes easily with a fork and potatoes are browned all over, about 10 minutes.
