Cover potatoes with water, add salt, and boil until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet.

Use a glass to gently smash each potato until flattened.

Mix oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Brush the mixture over the smashed potatoes.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden.
