‘Potato quiche’ recipe I found on FB…

Dh was out from very early evening so thought I’d give it an experimental try.

Boiled potatoes (4-5 medium) mashed and pressed into the base of a lined, 9” loose bottom cake tin. (I didn’t have anything else suitable.)

A layer of veg (onion, one leek*, mushrooms, all chopped and fried in a little oil, some spinach (I used frozen, thawed and well squeezed) S&P (I didn’t use enough), all layered over the potato.
Then 4 eggs and half a cup (standard mug) of milk, whisked with S&P, half a cup of grated cheese added, all poured over the veg, more cheese on top, baked at 180 fan for half an hour.

The only loose leek I could find in Sainsbury’s the other day was huge, so IMO I used too much leek - another time would use rather more mushrooms.

Anyway, it was largely successful, and when dh came home at well past 11 he had two helpings and pronounced it delicious!

Salt and pepper?

Yes of course - it must be salt and pepper! Thanks.

I’ve seen the FB posts where someone makes a ‘pastry base’ with mashed potatoes and often been tempted to try…….think I might give it a go now I know it’s not AI .

For everyone who's copied it, worth copying Witzend's answers further down too: an egg in the mash helps bind it and adds protein, skimmed or semi-skimmed milk both work, and S&P is salt and pepper. Those are the bits you'll wonder about in six months, and Facebook posts have a habit of vanishing when you go back for them. Once you've made it, a line in pencil on what you changed, aubergine instead of leek like nanna8, or sliced potato like Oreo, is how it stops being a Facebook recipe and becomes yours.

Thank you for the recipe.
I've made a similar quiche but sliced the potatoes thinly .
And dusted the top with a tiny bit of paprika.
