Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Peel and grate 3 large russet potatoes into a large bowl; squeeze out excess moisture through a clean kitchen towel until mostly dry.
  3. Step 3: Mix the grated potatoes with 100 g grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper until combined.
  4. Step 4: Press the potato mixture evenly into the prepared pizza pan, forming a 12-inch crust approximately 1/2-inch thick.
  5. Step 5: Bake the crust for 25 minutes until golden and edges are crispy.
  6. Step 6: While the crust bakes, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a small pan over medium heat; add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  7. Step 7: Remove the crust from the oven and brush the garlic olive oil evenly over it.
  8. Step 8: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the garlic oil is absorbed and the crust is crisp.
  9. Step 9: Garnish the pizza with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, slice, and serve immediately.
