• Preheat oven to 500ºF.

  If it has a convection setting, use that. (Some convection ovens will try to convert to non-convection by lowering the temperature to like 475º, but keep it at 500º.)
• Line the sheet pan(s) with aluminium foil

Slice each potato:

• On the cutting board, cut the ends off and discard
• Halve the potato lengthwise
• Keeping the halves together, cut each potato crosswise, into 1/4"-thick half-oval pieces
• Place the pieces in a bowl

Prepare the potato pieces

• Pour enough olive oil to coat all the pieces
• Toss to coat until well-oiled and mixed
• Arrange in a single layer on the sheet pan(s)
• Season with salt and pepper to your tastes, but cover pretty well

Bake

• Roast for 20 to 22 minutes or until wedges are tender when pierced with a fork
• Potato pieces will stick to the foil — peel them and place in serving dish
