• Place oven grate on the lower center rack, that is the second from the bottom.
• Add the potato wedges to a large pot of cold salted water.

• Lower the heat to medium, add 3-4 chopped garlic cloves and stir for about 30 seconds.

• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until most of the moisture has evaporated and the top layer appears to be nicely roasted.
