Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Preheat the wood-fired oven to around 550°F (290°C).

Scrub the russet potatoes clean.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges, making eight wedges from each potato.

Add the potato wedges to a bowl.

Pour enough olive oil to coat the wedges.

Add chopped rosemary and a generous amount of black pepper to the bowl.

Toss the potato wedges until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Add some more olive oil to the baking tray.

Evenly space out the potato wedges skin side down on the baking tray.

Sprinkle the wedges generously with salt.

Bake the wedges for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the heat of the oven, rotating the pan several times to ensure even cooking.
