Preparation

- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot with cold water, bring the water to a boil and cook them until tender (about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes)
- When they are ready, drain and peel them while still hot.
- Mash them with a potato masher directly into the 28 cm diameter tart pan, greased with extra virgin olive oil, and let cool.
- Once cooled, line the mold and create a half-centimeter high edge.
- Season with tomato puree, extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkling of oregano and salt.
- Fill the base with a layer of sauce, pizza mozzarella, porcini mushrooms in oil, and pitted Taggiasca olives.
- Bake at 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, until golden.
Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and then slice it. Serve hot and enjoy the softness of the potato dough, which uniquely enhances the flavors of the toppings.

Potato pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, it must be completely cooled and wrapped in cling film or placed in an airtight container.
