Baked Potato Wedges

Ingredients

• 5-6 potatoes, each cut into six wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Arrange potato wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges; season with thyme, pepper, and salt. Turn wedges with a spatula to coat with oil and seasonings. Roast potato wedges for 15 minutes, turn and continue roasting until soft in the center, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wedges to a platter and sprinkle cheese over them. You can also make a sweet potato version by using ground cinnamon and omitting thyme, pepper, and cheese. You can use vegetable oil in place of olive oil.
