Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing off any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Rub the oil mixture all over the potatoes to coat them evenly.
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to create the coating mixture.
Roll each oiled potato in the coating mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the potato skins.
Place the coated potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are well-spaced for even cooking.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the skins are golden and crispy, and a fork easily pierces through the potatoes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, butter, or shredded cheese, if desired.
