Parmesan Crusted Potato

0 Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Make sure to not meal and keep the skin intact.
1 Parboil the potatoes in a pot of salted water for about  8-10 minutes or until the potatoes are slightly tender but not fully cooked. 
5 Drain the water and let the potatoes cool for a few minutes. Once the potatoes are safe to handle, cut them in half (lengthwise). 
2 In a bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, dried parsley, dried thyme, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix it well.
6 Pour the butter mixture into the baking dish that you will be using to roast the potatoes. Add the parmesan cheese to the baking dish and mix it together with the butter to create a paste. Using a spatula, evenly spread and coat the bottom of the dish with the mixture. 
3 Place the potatoes cut side down in the baking dish. Brush the top of the potatoes with more melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if you'd like. 
4 Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are crisp and gold brown on the bottom. Let the potatoes rest in the baking dish for 5 minutes before serving.
