• 2 tablespoons olive oil                                                        
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges; halve long wedges crosswise.

On a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss potatoes with oil, sugar, chili powder, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, until coated.

Arrange wedges, cut sides down. Roast potatoes until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with additional salt, if desired, before serving.
