Perfect Oven Potatoes

2-4 Idaho potatoes ( 2 is enough for 2-3 people)
Canola oil
salt and pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients:
thyme
garlic
butter

Cut your potatoes how you want ( I like wedges)
soak in water for ten minutes, drain and dry completely
put 2 tbsp oil and a sprinkle of salt on baking sheet
toss potatoes in about 2 tbsp oil and salt and pepper
lay on sheet in a single layer and cover with foil
bake for 10 mins on 450
take foil off bake another 10 mins then flip over and bake another 10 mins
bake until desired crispiness

NOW: I melt some butter in a pan and mince fresh garlic and thyme and put in the butter then toss the potatoes after they come out. SO GOOD!!!!!
