Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking pan or cast iron skillet with cooking spray, then add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
  • In a small bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, and black pepper.
  • Pat the cut side of each potato half dry with paper towels.
  • Place the potatoes in a medium bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then toss until lightly coated.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  • Arrange the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Flip the potatoes over and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

Dry the Potatoes Well - Pat the cut sides of the potatoes dry with paper towels before adding oil. This helps them get extra crispy in the oven.
Cut Evenly - Try to cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook at the same rate. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger ones.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan - Arrange the potatoes in a single layer with space between them. Crowding the pan creates steam, which makes them soft instead of crispy.
Use Parchment Paper - Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup. The potatoes still crisp up nicely.
Check for Doneness - The potatoes should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. If they need more time, bake for another 5 minutes.

Storing and Reheating

Refrigerator - Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in Oven - Place potatoes on a baking sheet and reheat at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes until warmed through and crispy again.
Reheat in Air Fryer - Air fry at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes for the crispiest results.
