1. 1

   Rising Time: 2 1/2 hrs

2. 2

   To Make The Focaccia: Reserving one potato, put the rest in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 min. Drain the potatoes, let cool slightly and then mash them.

4. 4

   Put the flour onto a clean work surface, add the sugar, and make a well in the center.

5. 5

   Dissolve the yeast in the water.

6. 6

   Pour the yeast mixture into the well, and gradually start incorporating it into the flour a little at a time.

7. 7

   Add the mashed potatoes and oil.

8. 8

   Lastly, add the salt and knead the dough until soft, smooth, and elastic.

9. 9

   Let the dough rest for about 10 min. Form it into a ball and let it rise on a work surface 40 min.

10. 10

    To Make The Brine: Combine the water, olive oil, and coarse salt in a bowl.

11. 11

    Stir to make an emulsion and then let it rest.

12. 12

    Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3/4" (2cm) and transfer it to a round baking pan greased with oil.

13. 13

    Let it rest for another 10 min, then spread out the dough using your fingers to cover the base of the pan.

14. 14

    Sprinkle the focaccia with the Genoese brine smearing it over the surface with your hands, and prod the dough with your fingers to form small dimples where the seasoning will collect.

15. 15

    Let it rise in a warm place and until doubled in volume, about 90 min.

16. 16

    Bake in the oven at 480F (250C) for 20 min, or until the potato is cooked and the focaccia is brown and slightly crispy.
