Sour cream or Greek yogurt (or a mix of both)
Chopped scallions or chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Pour olive oil into a 9×13 glass baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish. Aim for an even layer without the need for spreading, which can lead to clumping.
Place the halved potatoes cut side down onto the cheese mixture, pressing to ensure full contact.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and the potatoes are tender.
Rest the potatoes in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Use a small spatula for lifting, ensuring the crispy cheese layer remains on the potatoes.
Serve cheese side up, accompanied by sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of scallions or chives, if desired.
To Reheat Leftovers:
Heat the potatoes cheese side up in a medium-hot non-stick skillet, then flip to re-crisp the cheesy side for 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
