The origins of this type of pizza are simple: it was created out of the necessity to use accessible ingredients and achieve a delicious result in record time. Whether you serve it as an appetizer, lunch, or dinner, this pizza will surely become a favorite in your family!

Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 medium potatoes
- 100 g cheese (opt for a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella)
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 100 ml oil for frying
- Fillings of your choice (cold cuts, mushrooms, peppers, or other vegetables)
- Ketchup or tomato sauce, for serving

Ingredient details:
- Potatoes: Choose floury potatoes for a better texture. Red or white potatoes are most suitable.
- Cheese: You can experiment with various types of cheese. Whether you choose feta for a salty taste or mozzarella for a creamy texture, the options are limitless.
- Dill: This adds a fresh aroma and a distinct flavor. If you don't have dill, you can use parsley or basil.

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by peeling the potatoes. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, then wash them well under cold water.

2. Grating the potatoes and cheese:
Grate the potatoes using a large grater. This technique will help the pizza fry evenly and become crispy. Then, grate the cheese, ensuring it is finely shredded so that it melts harmoniously.

3. Chopping the dill:
Use a sharp knife to finely chop the dill. This will help release its flavors.

4. Preparing the mixture:
In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, according to your taste. Add the grated potatoes, cheese, and chopped dill. Mix the ingredients well, ensuring everything is homogeneous.

5. Heating the oil:
In a pan the size of a plate, pour the 100 ml of oil and heat it over medium heat. It is important to ensure that the oil is hot enough to form a crispy crust on the pizza.

6. Cooking the pizza:
Pour the mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, until you see a golden crust forming on the bottom. Use a spatula to check if the pizza is well fried.

7. Flipping the pizza:
With the help of a large plate, carefully flip the pizza. Continue frying the other side for another 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes golden and crispy.

8. Finishing the pizza:
Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the pan and place it on an absorbent napkin to remove excess oil. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, so the heat of the pizza melts it beautifully.

9. Adding the fillings:
Now is the time to get creative! Add cold cuts, mushrooms, or any other preferred fillings. You can use ketchup or tomato sauce for an extra flavor boost.

10. Serving:
Cut the pizza into slices and serve it warm, alongside a fresh cucumber and tomato salad for a refreshing contrast.

Practical tips:
- If you want to reduce calories, you can use a frying oil with a lower fat content or opt for a non-stick pan and reduce the amount of oil.
- Substitute cheese with a vegan option for a dairy-free choice.
- Experiment with various spices, such as oregano or basil, to add extra flavors.
