Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added crispness.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during the first roast.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes, or until they’re safe to handle.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Cut each potato into quarters (or eighths, if they’re large) to create wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped rosemary.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the coated potato wedges on a large baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even crisping.
Optionally, melt the butter and drizzle it over the potatoes in the final 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
Remove the potatoes from the oven when they are golden-brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
