Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is important to ensure a crispy crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, and the egg. Mix until well incorporated.
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Press the potato mixture evenly into the pie dish, spreading it up the sides to create a crust. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to compact it firmly.
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your desired quiche filling.
Once the filling is added, bake the assembled quiche according to your recipe's instructions.
