Method
- Boil the floury potatoes in their skins the day before. Store them in the refrigerator overnight.
- Dissolve the yeast in a little water.
- Peel and press the potatoes. Add flour, salt, yeast, and water, and knead into a dough using a stand mixer in a mixing bowl. Cover the dough and let it rise at room temperature for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in volume.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and fold it with both hands. Divide it into 4 portions and shape them into balls. Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 250 °C using top/bottom heat.
- Meanwhile, for the sour cream and ricotta cream, mix all the ingredients well and stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the dough balls on a floured work surface. Press a hollow into the dough with your hands and stretch it out slightly. Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- While the dough is rising a second time: Finely chop the shallots and dice the porcini mushrooms. Sauté the shallots in a pan with a little butter until translucent. Add the diced porcini mushrooms and toss well. Season with lemon, marjoram, salt, and pepper.
- Then spread the flatbreads with the ricotta cream and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- After baking, garnish with the fried porcini mushrooms, arugula, bacon, Parmesan cheese and walnuts.
