Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano until well-coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, slightly overlapping the edges to form a solid crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the potato crust from the oven and spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the top.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, covering the crust well.
Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
