Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
Slice each potato in half lengthwise.
Pat them dry with paper towels to help them become extra crispy during baking.
Step 3: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine:
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Thyme
- Italian seasoning
- Paprika
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Add the potatoes and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
Step 4: Add the Parmesan
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the potatoes and toss gently once more.
The cheese will create a delicious crispy crust as the potatoes roast.
Step 5: Arrange on the Baking Sheet
Place the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Leave a little space between each piece so they roast instead of steam.
Step 6: Roast
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
The bottoms should be deeply caramelized while the centers remain soft and fluffy.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
