Treat your ingredients with care...

• Canarian potato — Make sure to boil the potato until it is tender but still holds its shape. Slice it thinly for even cooking and distribution on the pizza.
• Mojo sauce — You can either make your own mojo sauce using traditional Canarian recipes or find pre-made mojo sauce in specialty stores. Choose between red or green mojo sauce based on your preference for spiciness.
• Gofio — Gofio is a toasted grain flour commonly used in Canarian cuisine. It adds a unique flavor and texture to the pizza. If gofio is not available, you can substitute it with toasted breadcrumbs for a similar crunch.
