Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
In a bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add Parmesan and toss again so the cheese sticks to the oiled surface.
Arrange cut side down on baking sheet.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with dipping sauce or sour cream.
💡 Tip: The cheese caramelizes on the bottom — don’t skip lining the pan!
