How to Make Olive Oil Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas Mark 6.
  2. Scrub 4 large baking potatoes thoroughly and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Cut each potato lengthwise into thirds.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a large baking sheet.
  5. Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with an additional 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring all sides are lightly coated. Generously sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender. A fork should easily pierce the center.
