Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with salted water. Season the water with garlic powder and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and move the potatoes to a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Mash the potatoes in the hot skillet and add the butter and garlic powder. Shape the mashed potatoes into a large patty and coat the edges with olive oil, letting the oil run underneath the patty. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Break up the patty with a wooden spoon and fold the crisp bottom through the potatoes. Repeat browning the bottom and folding it into the mashed potatoes.
