- Should I add potatoes raw or cooked?
- If you can cut them wafer-thin (crisp-like), they can go on raw. If thicker, they must be par-boiled, otherwise they remain hard by the time the dough bakes.
Pizza al Patate (Potato and Rosemary Pizza)
Carbs on carbs? Yes! One of the most classic versions of Roman 'pan pizza' (pizza al taglio). Thinly sliced potatoes bake crispy on top, and rosemary is an essential accompaniment. It's a filling, rustic dish proving that the simplest ingredients yield the best results.

Instructions
1
✓
Slice the boiled potatoes into thin rounds.
Tip: Boiled potato starch behaves differently: remains soft inside, browns outside.
2
✓
Roll out the dough, brush with olive oil.
Tip: This is a 'white pizza', tomatoes would soak the potatoes.
3
✓
Arrange potato slices like scales on the dough.
Tip: Overlap slightly, but don't make the layer too thick.
4
✓
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary.
Tip: Potatoes love salt, be brave. Rosemary scent permeates during baking.
5
✓
Sprinkle with cheeses, then drizzle with a little more oil.
Tip: Oil helps potatoes brown (roast potato effect).
6
✓
Bake at 220°C for 12-15 minutes until cheese and potato edges are golden brown.
Tip: The crispy baked potato edge is the tastiest part.
