Steps

1Add the potatoes to a large bowl and then cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and then add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let sit for 5-10 minutes until completely dry.
2Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
3Coat a large sheet pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then place the potatoes on the pan.
4Use the bottom of a glass to smash each potato until around 1/4 inch thick. Try not to make them too thin so they don't fall apart on you after baking. Make sure there is adequate space between each potato otherwise they'll steam and won't become crispy.
5Drizzle the remaining olive oil and melted butter on the potatoes and then sprinkle on the remaining salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
6Bake the potatoes at 425 degrees for 25-35 minutes until they are golden brown and nice crispy. Don't flip. Smaller potatoes will need less time and larger potatoes will need a bit more so just be sure to check on them in the oven.
7Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and then garnish with fresh herbs and flaky sea salt.
