Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of water and the 2 Tablespoons of kosher salt to a boil. Carefully add the potatoes and boil for 14-17 minutes, depending on the size. The potatoes should not be falling apart or fork tender.

Step 2

Strain the potatoes. Remove any excess water. Toss the potatoes with the oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and peppers.

Step 3

Dip each potato cut-side down in the parmesan. Press firmly so a thick layer of cheese sticks to the potato bottom and edges.

Step 4

Repeat with remaining potatoes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle any remaining parmesan or garlic on top of the potatoes.

Step 5

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until browned.
