Focaccia with pesto and potato – notes
Today, herbal focaccia with potatoes is recommended for you.
I recently made us such a focaccia, convinced by Zuzanna from the Chilli czosnek oliwa blog that it’s the best focaccia in the world.
Whether it’s the best, it’s hard for me to judge yet, but it’s definitely veeery tasty.
And even my children, who were initially skeptical – you know, green, herbs ;) – ate it until their ears wiggled :D
My daughter wondered what was on top and thought it was cheese.
She was very surprised when she found out it was grated potato :D
I made it a bit more my way and prepared a double portion right away.
This amount was enough for us as dinner, and I must admit, we stuffed ourselves with it.
I also recommend my previous recipes for focaccia with onion and for mini focaccia with olives (my son’s favorite).
