Ingredients

For the potatoes:

1.5 pounds baby potatoes cut in half
3 tablespoons butter melted
½ cup parmesan cheese finely grated
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the dipping sauce:

1 cup sour cream
¼ cup chives minced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
Toss the potatoes with melted butter. Season with parmesan cheese, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Arrange the potatoes, cut side down, in the baking dish. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown and crispy around the cut edges.
Mix sour cream with chives in a small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce with the potatoes.

Notes

Cool the potatoes for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to harden and create a crispy layer at the bottom.
Use leftovers creatively. They're a great addition to scrambled eggs, a breakfast hash, or a casserole.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer with space between them. Crowding the pan leads to steaming instead of crisping.
1.5 pounds is all I could fit cut-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. But if you want to double the recipe, make another batch and have it prepped ready to go in the oven after the first round comes out.

Serve: Enjoy with your favorite dip for a filling snack or serve as an appetizer or side dish to any protein main.

Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, arrange the potatoes onto a baking sheet.and warm in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 F or in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400 F.
