PowerMockito verify private method called x times

I'm using PowerMockito and spy to mock private methods:

final SomeClass someClass = new SomeClass();
final SomeClass spy = PowerMockito.spy(someClass);

PowerMickito.doReturn("someValue", spy, "privateMethod1");
final String response = Whitebox.invokeMethod(spy, "anotherPrivateMethod");

// I can now verify `response` is of the correct data
// But I also want to verify `privateMethod1` was called x times or so

I cannot figure out how to verify that my method was called x times.

Side note

Is it better to just make all my private methods protected and then extend that class in my test class and do that?

This will do. 

PowerMockito.doReturn("someValue", spy, "privateMethod1");
final String response = Whitebox.invokeMethod(spy, "anotherPrivateMethod");
assert(response)
verifyPrivate(spy, times(1)).invoke("anotherPrivateMethod", "xyz");

I am assuming your private method(anotherPrivateMethod) takes one argument "xyz". Which you can modify according to your private method declaration.
