  1. FOR THE DOUGH:.
  2. Boil potato in water and simmer until tender (about 25 minutes).
  3. Drain potato well and cool.
  4. Grate potato through large holes on box grater, fine disk on ricer or food processor.
  5. Reserve 1-1/3 cups lightly packed potato.
  6. Meanwhile, In food processor mix or pulse yeast, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup warm water until combined.
  7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place, until bubbly (about 20 minutes).

  9. Process dough for about 40 seconds until it's smooth and elastic.
  10. Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat with oil and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  11. Let rise in warm area until dough is puffy and doubled in volume (about an hour).
  12. With wet hands (to prevent sticking) press dough flat into oiled or sprayed with Pam 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 jelly roll pan (I sprinkle a little flour on top of dough and gently pat it into shape. I don't make it quite as large, since I like it really thick).
  13. Cover dough with lightly greased plastic wrap (dough will stick otherwise) and let rise in warm area, about 45 minutes to an hour, until dough is puffy and doubled.
  14. Preheat oven to 425°F.

  18. Drizzle dough with oil, and sprinkle evenly with the rosemary, salt, landing some in pools of oil.
  19. Bake until focaccia bottom is golden and crisp, 23-25 minutes.
  20. Yields: one 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 inch rectangle or 2 8 inch rounds.
  21. *Note: focaccia can be kept on counter for several hours and reheated just before serving.
  22. Or, wrap cooled focaccia in plastic wrap, and then foil and freeze for up to 1 month (unwrap and defrost in 325°F oven until soft, about 15 minutes).
  23. •VARIATIONS:.
