Crispy Potato Wedges

Place the potatoes in a large bowl, add cold water to cover. Let stand for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425ºF.  Spray a nonstick baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Spread on a double layer of paper towels. Cover with a second layer of paper towels. Press down on the towels to dry potatoes. Transfer potatoes to a clean large bowl. Sprinkle with oil, pepper and salt, toss gently to combine. Arrange seasoned potatoes in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake potatoes for 20 minutes. Using a spatula, turn potatoes, sprinkle with garlic. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes, turning baking sheet after 10 minutes for even browning. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side. Serves 4
