This recipe is an example of true homestead ingenuity: replacing the traditional flour (or part of it) in pizza dough with what you have in abundance in your basement – ​​potatoes. This dish is a transition between crispy puddles and classic pizza, and is the perfect fuel after a day spent assembling bamboo structures or chopping wood.

Since you like traditional recipes, this “potato pizza” is sure to be your favorite because it is more filling and rustic than the original.

The Perfect Grated Potato Pizza (With Gluten-Free Option)
You can make it two ways: with a thin, crispy “pie base” or with a thicker, more filling dough.

Ingredients for the base:
500 g potatoes (peeled, finely or coarsely grated)
1 egg (holds the dough together)
2-3 tablespoons flour (or cornstarch if you want to make it gluten-free)
Salt and pepper
1 clove garlic (crushed)
Preparation:

The secret step: Salt the grated potatoes, let them stand for 5 minutes, then squeeze all the water out of them with a clean kitchen towel (or a piece of flat sheet). This is the key to making the base crispy, not soggy.
Assembly: Mix the potatoes with the egg, flour and spices. As you already know with the mint and oil, mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures a uniform consistency.
Pre-baking: Smooth the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper in a circle (about 1 cm thick). Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until the edges start to brown.

Topping: Take the base out, spread with tomato sauce and top with whatever you have in your garden or pantry: onions from the foil tent, homemade sausage or your favorite goat cheese. Sprinkle generously with cheese.
To finish baking: Put back in the oven for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Vitality tips for topping
Protein: Sprinkle a little of your protein-rich seeds (such as pine nuts or pumpkin seeds) on top in the last few minutes of baking – it adds extra crunch and nutrition.

Freshness: After removing from the oven, tear fresh mint or basil. Mint makes a particularly exciting contrast with the savory fries and cheese.
Kidney Health: Use less salt in your pasta and season it generously with herbs to spare your system.
Safety Reminder for Dinner
While you’re slicing that hot pizza and thinking about tomorrow’s pallet garden project, don’t forget your usual safety circle.

Keep your golden rule in mind: Unplug your charger when your phone isn’t on it. The warmth of a safe home and a nutritious dinner make homestead evenings truly complete.
