The story the reviews tell
Carb-on-carb scepticism lasts one slice in most reviews. The crisp-edge-creamy-centre potato coin is the detail that converts, and rosemary-oil perfume gets described as the smell of Ligurian bakeries at noon.
What makes this version distinct
The Ligurian tradition — closer kin to focaccia than to Naples — skips tomato entirely: mandolined potato laid in overlapping coins over the dough, rosemary needles, coarse salt, and the region's famously soft olive oil. Carb on carb, defended by centuries of Genoese certainty. The potato edges crisp; the centres go creamy.
