- In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, mashed potatoes, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball.
First Rise:
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Focaccia:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven.
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, anchovy paste, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
Shape the Focaccia:
- Grease a 15 ½ x 10 ½ inch jelly-roll pan with olive oil. Press the risen dough into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Second Rise:
- Loosely cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional hour in a warm place. The dough should rise and become slightly puffy.
Top and Bake:
- Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes over the dough, overlapping them slightly.
- Brush the potato layer with the garlic-rosemary-anchovy oil mixture.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by a sprinkle of coarse salt.
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the focaccia in the preheated oven on the bottom third rack.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the focaccia is beautifully golden-brown on top and the potatoes are tender and crisp.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once baked, remove the focaccia from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Cut into generous squares or slices and serve warm as a delicious appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite meals!
