Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grate the russet potatoes into a large bowl using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture by pressing the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a round baking dish. Press the potato mixture evenly into the dish to form a crust, making sure to press it up the sides as well.
Bake the potato crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until it starts to become golden and slightly crisp.
While the crust bakes, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and chopped spinach into the egg mixture.
Remove the potato crust from the oven. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the crust.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
