Potato Pizzas with Arugula Salad
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the baking sheets
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough
- 2 large red-skinned potatoes (12 ounces), very thinly sliced (we love a mandolin for this)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus some larger shavings for topping the pizzas
- One 5-ounce container baby arugula (about 6 cups)
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- Serving suggestion: sliced salami or prosciutto
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Lightly oil 2 baking sheets.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Roll and stretch each portion of dough into an oval (rustic is fine) about 11 inches long by 6 inches wide.
- Place 2 rounds each on the prepared baking sheets.
- Toss the potatoes, onions, garlic and thyme in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Divide the mixture among the 4 crusts and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Bake until the crusts are golden and crisp and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the vinegar.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Top the warm pizzas with the salad and some Parmesan shavings.
- Serve with salami and/or prosciutto to complete the meal.
- Cook's Note: Try this as one large pizza too!
- Simply stretch the entire ball of dough into a rustic oval about 15 inches long by 8 inches wide and bake as directed.
