Prepare the Potatoes:
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Roast the Potatoes:
Place the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. This helps them develop a crispy, golden crust.

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Flip the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Serve:
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes:
Even Sizing: Try to cut the potatoes into even sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
High Heat: Roasting at a high temperature helps achieve that crispy exterior.
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure the potatoes are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam rather than roast.
