Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Evenly space the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a sturdy glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the oil mixture generously over each smashed potato, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes carefully and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a delicious snack.
