1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Boil the Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Smash the Potatoes: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the boiled potatoes. Use a fork or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
Season: Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve hot as a delicious side dish.
