Steps

1 Done 15 min	Boil the potatoes Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Wash and scrub the potatoes and add them to the boiling water. Cook until they are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on their size. Drain and let them cool slightly.

3 Done 30 min	Season and bake the potatoes Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the smashed potatoes. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder and some salt and pepper over them. Bake until they are crispy and golden on the edges, about 25 to 30 minutes.
