Ingredients

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    Preheat the oven to 390 °F (200 °C) and brush a sheet of parchment paper with oil, otherwise, the crust will stick to it. Set it aside.
  • Peel the potatoes (weight without peel was about 380 g), and, using the small holes of a grater (or a food processor grating disk), grate the potatoes into a large bowl.
  • Once grated, use either your hands or transfer the potato to layers of cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel and squeeze the excess liquid from the potatoes into the bowl, then set it aside. Do not discard the potato water yet, but leave it in a different bowl, as you will need it later.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients to the grated potatoes and mix with your hands into a dough consistency.
  • Next, carefully discard the liquid from the squeezed potato water, leaving a starchy substance behind at the bowl’s bottom. Add this starch to the potato pizza dough and mix again. This will help to make a crispier pizza crust.
  • Spread the potato mixture, by hand, into a circle (or square/rectangle) around 28 cm/ 11-inches in diameter over the parchment paper. Then transfer that to a baking sheet and bake the potato pizza dough (without toppings) for 20 minutes.
  • While the crust bakes, prepare all your favorite toppings. (I used tomato sauce, onion, garlic, mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes). I also made a batch of vegan cheese sauce (though vegan mozzarella cheese also works).
  • Top the pizza with the sauce and toppings, spreading them evenly across the top. Bake for 12-14 minutes until melty on top with crispy edges.

Notes

  • Tapioca flour: You can most likely use arrowroot flour or potato starch instead.
  • Don’t overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make the potato crust pizza’s center soft, and the slices won’t be as sturdy.
