Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Place a heavy duty baking sheet in the oven. Cut potatoes lengthwise into uniform batons. Place in a medium bowl. Toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. When the baking sheet is hot, about 15 minutes, carefully remove from oven. Place potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Return baking sheet to the oven, and cook until the potatoes are golden on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Turn the potatoes over, and continue cooking until golden all over, about 15 minutes more. Serve immediately.
