Presented in this letter is the exact solution of the problem of finding the potential of an inflaton scalar field for which adiabatic perturbations generated during a de Sitter (inflationary) stage in the early Universe have an exactly flat (or, the Harrison-Zeldovich) initial spectrum. This solution lies outside the scope of the slow-roll approximation and higher-order corrections to it. The potential found depends on two arbitrary physical constants, one of which determines the amplitude of the perturbations. For small (zero) values of the other constant, a long (infinite) inflationary stage with slow rolling of the inflaton field exists.
