Preparation of Baking Pan: Pour the melted butter evenly across the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Layering of Ingredients: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the melted butter, followed by an even distribution of black pepper.

Arranging the Potatoes: Place the potato halves cut side down into the butter and cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Baking Process: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once heated, place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Post-Baking Resting: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving to enhance their crispiness.
