Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes, leaving the skin on. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a heavy-bottomed glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to flatten it to about 1/2-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over each smashed potato, ensuring they are well coated.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack.
