Boil the Potatoes: Rinse the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a soup pot. Fill the pot with enough water to submerge the potatoes completely. Boil for 15–20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through them.
Cool and Smash: Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet. Use the bottom of an oiled cup to smash each potato to a thickness of about ½ inch.
Season and Brush: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, chopped chives, garlic powder, and salt. Brush the butter mixture generously over the potatoes, then flip them and brush the other side
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your favorite dips or condiments. Enjoy warm!
