Instructions
Preheat your oven or pizza oven to 450º-500ºF. If you are using a baking steel sheet, follow the instructions for heating it up. If you are using a countertop oven, preheat to 450ºF using the convection mode (aka Air Fry).
Wash and chop your 6-8 small potatoes and 1 medium-sized leek. Make sure to chop in uniform, bite-sized pieces.
Heat a frying pan to medium heat, and drizzle olive oil in the pan to heat. Once the pan is heated, add the potatoes to the pan and pan fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add sliced leeks to the pan and cook until wilted-- they will look a little like caramelized onions.
Allow the potatoes and leeks to cool slightly. While they cool, prepare your pizza crust.
Spread the garlic parmesan sauce onto the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2" all around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on the pizza evenly, and then layer on the potatoes and leeks.
If you want a nice golden brown crust, brush the crust with olive oil using a pastry brush.
Bake your pizza for 12-15 minutes, depending on your pizza size and oven temperature.
While the pizza is baking, rinse and dry about 3 ounces of arugula or a medium-sized handful. Toss it with a light drizzle of olive oil (about 1-2 teaspoons) and season with salt and pepper.
When the pizza is finished baking, quickly slice and top with the arugula so the heat from the pizza wilts the arugula. Serve.
