    Excellent! Great foccacia! Purple potato looks great as a topping! Next time I’ll reduce the salt in the dough a bit. Tiny bit too salty for me.

    A bit of work to prepare, but not difficult and quite good. A generous amount - covers the entire surface so the top of the dough doesn't really brown. Could reduce to leave gaps between potato slices, allowing for some browning.
