Bring water and salt to a boil, add potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Drain potatoes and place on a cookie sheet that has been brushed with 2 Tbsp. olive oil
Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to smash potatoes to about 1/2 inch thick. Thinner for crisper potatoes.
Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with the remaining olive oil.
Sprinkle with coarse salt, dried rosemary and garlic powder.

Notes
You can get creative with your seasonings and use your favorite. If you prefer, use Italian seasoning or any combination rosemary, oregano, basil, and thyme.
For crispier potatoes spread the potatoes out evenly on the baking sheet so the edges aren't touching, this will give you crispy edges.
Don't skimp on the olive oil. The oil prevents them from sticking to the baking sheet but also gives them crisp edges.
