Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry your red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the potato wedges out in a single layer on your baking sheet.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
The fries are done when golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
