Ingredients

serves 4

　　2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed

　　3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower

　　2 teaspoons paprika

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Halve potatoes crosswise; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with oil and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes, cut sides down, in a single layer.

　　

Step 2

Roast, turning potatoes halfway through with a metal spatula (they should loosen easily from the sheet), until fork-tender and browned, about 50 minutes. Serve hot.
