Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425° and have ready one (or two) large rimmed sheet pans lined with either nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Quarter the potatoes lengthwise. Cut each quarter into thirds.

Step 2

Transfer the potatoes to the sheet pan, drizzle with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Transfer half of the potatoes to a second sheet pan to prevent overcrowding, if necessary. The potatoes will not properly roast/brown if there is no space between them.

Step 3

Place in the oven and bake 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully turn wedges over, using tongs or a fork if necessary to keep from burning your fingers. If the potatoes stick to the foil, allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes, and then turn.

Step 4

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 16-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden-brown and crisp. Serve and enjoy.
