Preheat the Oven:

- In a small bowl, mix Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Rub olive oil over the chicken and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
- Ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
4. Assemble on the Baking Sheet:
- Place the seasoned chicken on one side of the baking sheet.
- Spread the potatoes on the other side, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
5. Roast the Chicken and Potatoes:
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
