– Pour the olive oil in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, tilting the pan to coat the bottom completely. Using a spoon, sprinkle the parmesan mixture evenly over the olive oil. Don’t stir.
– Place the potatoes (cut side down) on the parmesan, pressing firmly.– Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt, if desired.– Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and the parmesan is a dark golden brown.
