Black Pepper and Lemon Oven Fries
1 1/2 to 2 pounds small red potatoes, cut into wedges
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon (you can substitute lime for a variation)
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Preheat oven to 375, place oven rack in the second to the top slot.
Now, in a bowl toss the potato wedges with a few big pinches of sea salt and five or six cranks of the pepper grinder. Add the olive oil and toss until every potato is nicely coated.
Arrange the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes with a metal spatula half way through the cooking process. While the the potatoes are baking, zest the lemon and cut it into a few wedges.
When the potatoes are cooked through, fork tender, remove them from the oven, and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper to your taste (don’t skimp on the pepper!). Now serve the wedges in a big shallow bowl, or on a platter, drizzled with lemon juice and dusted with the lemon zest and finely grated Parmesan.
