# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) so it’s good to go for baking.
02 - Fill a big pot with water and salt, bring it to a boil, then cook the baby potatoes 15 to 20 minutes until soft when poked.
03 - Pour out the water and let the potatoes sit a few minutes so they dry off with steam.
04 - Put potatoes on a parchment-lined baking tray and gently press each with a masher or a glass bottom to smash them slightly without breaking.
05 - Spread olive oil all over the smashed potatoes, then sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your dried herbs on top.
06 - Pop them in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping once halfway till they’re crispy and golden.
07 - Dish ‘em out right away, and if you want, toss on some chopped parsley.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Letting the potatoes steam dry after boiling gives the crispiest finish when baked.
