Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment if you like, and spray with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place the potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle over the butter, then sprinkle over the salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes so that they are nicely coated with the butter, spread them out in a single layer, and then place in the oven and roast for about 35 to 40 minutes, turning them midway through the cooking if you remember and your world allows for this to happen.
