Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. Put all of your potatoe wedges into a large bowl then cover them with hot water. Let your potatoes soak for 10-30 minutes. I let mine soak for 30.

Pour 4 tablespoons of your oil into a jelly roll pan with sides. Use a pastry brush to coat the entire bottom.

Now sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly onto the pan and set aside.

Drain your potatoes and then pour them onto a paper towel or a clean towel and pat each potato dry. Wipe out the bowl that they just came from until that is dry also then put your potatoes back into the bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and coat your potatoes.

Layer the potato wedges evenly on your pan and cover with foil. Put into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the layer on the down side starts to turn golden brown.

Using a spatula, turn over all of the wedges so that another side will brown. Cook for another 15-20 minutes.

Rotate your pan to ensure even browning.

When all the potato wedges are beautifully browned, remove from oven and place potatoes on a plate with a paper towel and lightly pat potatoes to remove extra oil.

Sprinkle some more salt and pepper if desired.

Serve immediately while warm.
