Coated with olive oil and baked in a hot oven, these fries are soft and buttery inside and crisp on the outside—the perfect combination.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss potato wedges with oil, salt and thyme (if using). Spread the wedges out on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake until browned and tender, turning once, about 20 minutes total.
