Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press each potato until flattened but still intact.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack. Enjoy!
