Ingredients




1 lb pizza dough, divided in half
2 potatoes, very thinly sliced (russets or Yukon Golds are lovely)
1 sweet or red onion, also sliced very thinly
about a cup of arugula (or baby spinach, if you prefer)
4 oz. sliced sopressata
2 & 1/2 cups grated manchego cheese
scant handful of all purpose flour, for dusting your work table
olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with rack in middle. 2 Lightly flour your work-surface & use a rolling pin to shape dough into two 14-inch ovals. 3 Place these on two lightly oiled baking sheets or pizza pan. 4 Combine potatoes, onions and oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper; arrange the veggies on the pizzas, allowing a little edge all around. 5 Top this with the sopressata; brush the pizza edges/crust with a little more oil & bake 5 minutes or until slightly golden. 6 Remove pizzas from oven and sprinkle on the arugula (or spinach) and cheese; return sheets to oven and bake another 5 minutes, or until greens are wilted, cheese is melted, and crust is deeply golden.
