Golden Oven-Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients

- 4 large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the oven racks are positioned in the center.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges, approximately 1 inch thick. This ensures even cooking.

2. Seasoning the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are well-coated with oil and seasoning. The olive oil will help them achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

3. Roasting:
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the potatoes for 25 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each wedge over using a spatula.
- Return the tray to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

4. Final Touches:
- Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve warm as a delightful side dish for dinner.
