Potato Quiche


I made this recipe one day last week. I got the recipe from a M.O.P.S. cookbook I have, the recipe was listed in the cookbook by my cousin Staci. I tried to sneak in some finely chopped broccoli but there is no way of sneaking with vegetable fearing Andrew. As soon as I carried it to the table, Andrew said "Broccoli! I don't like broccoli!!" It would also be good with a red or green pepper. The potato crust is wonderful. It is a great recipe to use some leftover ham. We had this for supper but it would be great for breakfast or brunch too.

Potato Quiche
3 cups grated potato
3 T. oil
1 cup grated cheese
3/4 cup diced ham or browned sausage
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 425. Combine potato and oil. Press mixture in bottom and up sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Bake for 15 minutes. In bottom, place grated cheese, diced ham and onion. In a bowl, mix milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Pour over cheese. Bake for 30 minutes until lightly browned or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let set 5 minutes.
