Preparation

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Cover a pizza pan with parchment paper and oil it if pan is not stick proof. Peel and cut potatoes into 5 mm (0.2 inch) slices (ideally using a mandolin).

Spread the slices on the pan, overlapping them by 1 cm (0.5 inch), starting from the outside and going in towards the centre.

Mix oil, garlic, and salt. Use a brush to coat potatoes with this mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.

Mix tomato paste, tomato sauce, garlic, basil and oregano. Use a brush to spread this mixture over potatoes.

Cut vegetables in 5 mm (0.2 inch) slices. Place them on crust in order--pepperoni, tomatoes, green pepper, mushrooms and onion. Top with grated cheese.

Bake for approximately fifteen minutes.
