How to make potato crust quiche

First, you have to prepare the potato crust. Grate the potatoes and rinse well under cold water. Use a kitchen towel to squeeze as much liquid as possible. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mix with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. 

Spread the potatoes over the base and sides of a greased pie pan and press slightly. Bake at 400F (200C) for 30 minutes until slightly golden. While the crust is baking, cook the bacon in a medium frying pan until crisp and drain on paper towels. Grate the cheese and set aside until ready to use. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F (180C).

Now you can prepare the filling by whisking together the eggs with cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg and chopped green onions. 

At this point, you can easily customize this potato crust quiche to suit different dietary needs and preferences. Besides being gluten-free, you can adapt it to make it vegetarian or vegan too, by using dairy-free cheese and leaving out the bacon. You can use various ingredients for the filling, like spinach, red pepper, or mushrooms, and add more nutrients to this potato dish. 

Fill the potato crust with grated cheese and crispy bacon.  Pour the egg mixture over the potato crust. Bake in the oven until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. 

Let the quiche cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve hot or cold alongside a fresh salad and crusty bread.  

Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a savory dinner, this Potato Crust Quiche is sure to satisfy your cravings and impress your guests.
