Ingredients

Serves4

At the stove

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 390°F.

  2. 2

    Toss the wedges with the oil, oregano, salt and pepper until every piece is coated.

  3. 3

    Spread them in a single layer in a roasting pan — crowding steams them.

  4. 4

    Roast for 25 minutes, then turn the pieces and add the garlic if using.

  5. 5

    Roast another 15–20 minutes until deep gold and crisp at the edges.

  6. 6

    Taste for salt and serve hot, with a little more oregano if you like.

Recipe notes

A single layer matters more than the oven temperature.

Add the garlic partway through so it perfumes the pan without burning.

Context

Oregano, olive oil and potatoes are a standing southern Italian combination; the same treatment is used for potatoes cooked under meat or alongside baked fish.
