CHEF’s Tips

Potato pizza is an excellent alternative for those looking for a gluten-free option with a distinct flavor. The choice of potato is crucial for the recipe’s success. Potatoes like Asterix or Rosada, with less water and more starch, result in a firmer and tastier dough. Cook the potatoes with their skins on to prevent them from absorbing too much water, and mash them while still warm to ensure a smooth and homogeneous texture. When spreading the dough on the pan, use damp hands to prevent sticking. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on it to ensure the potato pizza is golden and the crust is crispy. For the topping, harmonize the ingredients, balancing flavors and textures. A tip is to add a touch of truffle oil after baking for an irresistible aroma. This potato pizza is perfect for a special dinner or to surprise friends!
