Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and dry them with a paper towel. Using a fork, poke some holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
2
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Using a potato masher or the back of a heavy spoon, smash the potatoes gently to flatten them slightly.
4
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the smashed potatoes, making sure they are fully coated.
5
Increase the oven temperature to broil (high heat). Place the smashed potatoes under the broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
