Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Prepare the Potatoes:

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil to coat evenly.

Make the Parmesan Mixture:

In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Coat the Potatoes:

Toss the oiled potatoes in the Parmesan mixture until well-coated.

Arrange on Baking Sheet:

Place the potatoes cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Press gently to ensure good contact with the sheet for maximum crispiness.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness with a fork; they should be tender inside.

Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish to your favorite meal.
