Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces.

Rinse the potatoes under water to remove excess starch.

In a non-stick pot, heat a generous amount of olive oil.

Chop half a clove of garlic and add it to the oil, sautéing until golden without burning.

Add the rinsed potatoes to the pot and season with salt, covering to cook evenly.

Tear a few basil leaves and add them for aroma.

Keep hot water nearby to add as needed while cooking the potatoes.

Once the potatoes start to break down, add a couple of tablespoons of canned tomato puree, rinsing the jar with water to use it all.

Sprinkle in some wild oregano for flavor.

Add the arborio rice and stir, cooking slowly while adding hot water as needed until the rice is done.

When about 4-5 minutes from finishing, cube some provola cheese and set it aside.

Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and add the provola cheese, stirring gently to melt it.

Add more fresh basil and a generous sprinkle of cheese (parmesan or pecorino) before serving.
