Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a glass baking dish with olive oil, set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
With a spoon, sprinkle parmesan mixture over prepared baking dish as evenly as possible.
Press each potato half cut side down into the baking dish, pressing down to stick the parmesan mixture to the potatoes. Brush the top of potatoes with olive oil.
Bake potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until a fork inserted into one comes out easily.
While potatoes bake, combine ingredients for dipping sauce.
When potatoes are cooked, allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from baking dish or the parmesan mixture won't stick to the potatoes. Serve with dipping sauce.
