Ingredients

3 medium russet potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds, scrubbed and dried
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or a neutral tasting oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Pinch cayenne, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Leaving peel on, cut the potatoes into 6 lengthwise to make long wedges, about 3/4-inch to 1-inch wide. Combine the potatoes, oil, salt and cayenne on the baking sheet and toss to combine. (1 less bowl to wash) Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, so a cut side is in contact with the pan, but evenly spaced so the potatoes aren't touching each other. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Slip a spatula under the potatoes to turn them over and cook for 5 minutes more.

Transfer potatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately.

Very easy to make and very good! Don't cook more than the recipe calls for or they will get dried out.

Fast and Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were a great side, came out perfect, nice and crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Had just the... right amount of spice. Would be great with sour cream. Served with Pulled Slow-cooker Brisket served on Buns, recipe from this site. Good lazy day meal, with little effort.Read more

I love these, esp with the cayenne. Though I do slice them a little thinner. I also use these as a base for a broccoli,... cheese and potato dish.Read more
