How to make potato pizza?

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and prepare the pizza base. To do this, use a potato masher or a fork to mash the pre-steamed potatoes and add the potato starch and salt. Knead the dough with your hands until you achieve a stable dough ball. Then place the dough ball on a baking tray lined with baking paper and shape it into a pizza base of your liking, about 0.5-1 cm thick (you can make several small ones from the same batch if you wish). Bake the pizza base at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until it has a golden surface. While the pizza base is cooking, prepare the toppings.

To make tomato sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together 100 g of concentrated tomato paste with maple syrup, herb mix, cayenne pepper (if using) and sea salt.

To make Indian nut “cheese”:

Pour the nuts into a blender and add half the lemon juice, 3-4 tbsp water, sea salt, onion and garlic powder and process until smooth.

To prepare the rest of the filling:

Chop the onion, peppers, tomatoes and pineapple.

When the base is ready, spread the tomato sauce on top first. Then top with a layer of “cheese”, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, sliced pepper and pineapple. Sprinkle with more herbs if desired. Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees. Then take the pizza out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, serve with fresh rocket and enjoy!
