Thank you so much for this witzend I am gluten intolerant.
Do you think an egg added to the mashed potato would help bind it? Xx

This should - as the OP has found - work just fine.

Quite a few alternatives, easily found on the Net, might use SLICED potato, 'Smashed' potato (close to mashed, I think, but less formal?!), and grated or shredded spuds. Some suggest 'yellow' potato, but lots of types get mentioned.

Here's just one. www.almostsupermom.com/gluten-free-quiche-potato-crust/

Many possibilities for the fillings of course, depending on personal taste, plus what you've got to use up?!

A key to the grated version is to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Sounds good! But I wouldn’t read too much into DH’s opinion apres-pub!

Another thank you! I'm vegetarian and allergic to nuts and some seeds, so this sounds great. Also people could add bits or change the veg if wanted.

Thank you. Perfect for a coeliac. Copied ready to cook it later. xx

That could be good for people with a gluten intolerance.

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!
