Ingredients and Preparation

Gather the essentials: potatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Start by halving or quartering the potatoes, depending on their size. Generously drizzle olive oil over the potatoes.

Combine garlic powder, herbs, salt, and pepper and mix them with the potatoes. Just like in this recipe:

Baking to Perfection

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Generously coat the baking sheet with grated Parmesan cheese. Place the potato halves cut-side down directly on top of the cheese layer to soak up maximum flavor.

Bake the potatoes for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese forms a golden, crispy crust and the potatoes are tender.
