Black Pepper and Lime Oven Fries

recipe from WFMU

Black Pepper and Lime Oven Fries
1 1/2 pounds Small potatoes, cut into wedges
3 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
sea salt & freshly ground pepper
1 lime
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, oven racks in the middle. In a medium bowl toss the potato wedges with olive oil, a few big pinches of sea salt,(or "punches" as i first read it...) and five or six cranks of the pepper grinder. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing the potatoes with a metal spatula half way through.

While the potatoes are cooking, zest the lime and cut it into a few wedges.

When the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Add more salt and pepper to taste (don't skimp on the pepper!). Arrange on a platter, drizzled with lime juice and dusted with the lime zest and Parmesan.
