4	md	Russet potatoes cut into
		Large wedges

Place potatoes in a large bowl; add cold water to cover. Let stand 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a nonstick baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.

Drain potatoes in colander. Spread on a double layer of paper towels. Cover with a second layer of paper towels. Press down on the towels to dry potatoes.

Transfer potatoes to a clean large bowl. Sprinkle with oil, pepper and salt. Toss gently to combine. Arrange seasoned potatoes in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.

Bake potatoes for 20 minutes, turning baking sheet after 10 minutes for even browning. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side. The clove of garlic is optional.

Variation: For a sweeter flavor, use sweet potatoes unstead of the russet potatoes. Proceed as directed. Add 1/2 t paprika when tossing potatoes with spices, and bake as directed.
