Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and, one by one, gently press down on each potato with a fork or a potato masher to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Drizzle the olive oil over the smashed potatoes, making sure to coat each one.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the potatoes.
Bake the smashed potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, green onions, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
Enjoy the satisfying crunch and fluffy interior of these Smashed Crispy Potatoes at your next meal!
