Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, making sure each potato is well coated.

Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the potatoes for added fragrance and taste.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 10
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Finish them off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy these crispy delicious Paleo smashed potatoes as a perfect side dish.
