Ingredients:
Olive oil cooking spray
1 1/2 lbs. Russet potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground or cracked black pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
2. Place whole potatoes (do not poke) into microwave-safe dish. Cover dish. (If covering dish with plastic wrap, poke small hole in plastic.)
3. Microwave on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes depending on strength of microwave.
4. Use oven mitts to remove dish from microwave; carefully remove cover from dish due to steam build-up and let cool.
5. Cut each potato into 8 wedges.
6. Place in a large bowl and toss with olive oil; spread in a single layer on baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10 minutes. Spray with olive oil cooking spray, turn wedges and spray again.

9. Mash together rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl with the back of a spoon; sprinkle over cooked potatoes and toss well to coat.
