Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, and Italian seasoning.
Take each potato half and dip the cut side into the cheese mixture, gently pressing so the cheese adheres.
Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet with the cheese-side facing down. Sprinkle any leftover cheese mixture over the potatoes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully transfer the potatoes to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh herbs and grated cheese, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or almonds over the potatoes before baking.
These baked potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold.
If you prefer, substitute the parmesan cheese with a different hard cheese, such as Pecorino Romano, for a stronger flavor.
