Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F/200C.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes to get rid of any dirt (there's no need to peel them).

Step 3

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Place each half flat-side down and cut each half lengthwise again. For larger potatoes, cut each wedge in half again (lengthwise) giving you a total of eight wedges.

Step 4

Add the wedges to a large mixing bowl. Spray with low-fat cooking spray (or If using olive oil, drizzle with about two tablespoons olive oil) then toss everything together to coat.  Season well with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Spread the wedges in a single layer over a large baking sheet lined with nonstick foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and while they are still hot, season with salt to taste.
