While the dough is rising, prepare the potato mash. In a separate bowl, mash the 2 medium cooked potatoes until smooth. Add the avocado oil mayo, 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Top the potato mixture with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the potato and cheese filling, bringing them together in the center to seal the edges completely, forming a ball. Gently flatten the filled dough ball into a disc shape.
