Season the Potatoes: Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If you like, you can also sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for added flavor.
Bake for Crispiness: Place the potatoes in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy on the edges.
Optional Toppings: In the last 5 minutes of baking, you can sprinkle the smashed potatoes with some grated Parmesan cheese for an extra crispy, cheesy crust.
Serve: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot!
These potatoes pair perfectly with nearly any main dish—grilled meats, roasted chicken, or even as a snack on their own. Enjoy!
