Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and cut it into circles large enough to line a six-cup muffin tin or small tart pans. Press the crust into each cup, trimming any overhanging edges. Chill the prepared crusts in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Peel the potato and dice it into small cubes (about 1/2-inch). Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the potato pieces for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
Dice the smoked sausage into small pieces and add them to the same skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Chop the green onions finely and set them aside.
Assemble the quiches by evenly distributing the sautéed potatoes, smoked sausage, and chopped green onions among the crust-lined cups. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, being careful not to overfill the crusts.
Place the muffin tin or tart pans onto a baking sheet for stability and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown.
Allow the quiches to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tins. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
