Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large pot, add the baby potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and let them cook for about 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using the back of a fork or a flat-bottomed glass, gently press down on each potato to smash it, but keep them in one piece.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy goodness while adhering to your Whole30 plan.
