Instructions
  1. Cut potatoes into thick wedges. Place in a large pot, cover with salted water, and cook  3 minutes. Drain well and place on 2 (15 x 10-inch) rimmed baking sheets with the onions, lemon, garlic and bay leaves.
  2. Preheat oven to 400F.
  3. Whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour evenly over potatoes. Toss well to coat.
