Garlic Butter Roasted Hassel Back Potatoes

These potatoes are a perfect addition to your summer meal!!! They are easy, simple, and delicious!!! Let me walk your taste buds through this potato... when you bite into it, you first taste the creaminess from the potato and melted butter, then all those amazing seasonings start popping up one by one

( the pepper, garlic powder, paprika, salt, Italian seasoning, parsley) and finally, you receive the crunchiness of the parmesan cheese or bread crumbs with that roasted flavor to it! IS YOUR MOUTH WATERING YET?!?!
