Ingredients
- 4 large boiler potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt to taste
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, cut potatoes into small wedges.
- Place potato wedges in cold water bath.
- Let potato wedges sit one hour. This helps to remove excess starch and will help the wedges crisp up more in the oven.
- After an hour, drain the water, and pat wedges dry with a paper towel.
- Toss with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread out onto a baking sheet which has been generously sprayed with cooking spray or, preferably, lined with a silpat or parchment paper.
- Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes- until wedges start to get soft. You might want to stir the wedges at this point to prevent excessive sticking and to flip the wedges to the other side.
- Turn the oven to 450 and continue baking until crisp (about 15 minutes). If you get in a hurry, turn on the broiler to crisp up the wedges- but watch them closely, and stir them a few times to be sure all sides get some good crunch!
