‘Potato quiche’ recipe I found on FB…

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.

I used to make something like that for DH who loved it!

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.

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 .

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

Salt and pepper?

What’s S&P please, Witzend?

I’m a vegetarian with coeliac disease and I’m always looking for tasty new recipes to try. I’ll definitely be making this. Thank you so much for posting.

This sounds like a great idea - I've got a bit of a thing about pastry being empty calories, so using potato instead would make a much more nutritious substitute!

I am not gluten intolerant, but to save calories I make a crustless quiche. Line the tin with baking parchment and add normal fillings of your choice. Bake in oven or air fryer. Similar to a baked frittata.

This I am going to cook, thankyou for the recipe

Sounds like my sort of dish, I think I will cook the potatoes the previous day and refrigerate, thereby reducing the starch content. A quick tasty meal.

Oh wow, I will definitely try that one. Might substitute leek for eggplant though, not too many leeks around just now. Thank you !

Don't know what happened there anyway I have trouble with pastry a lot of the time digesting it. This is a recipe I will definitely try it sounds promising thanks.

I have trouble

Thank you Witzend. My husband was advised not to eat pastry, this potato shell sounds like a good substitute. I'll have to try it.

I think I would prefer sliced potatoes and would integrate cooked leeks or onions with them.

Do you think an egg added to the mashed potato would help bind it? Xx

Yes, and it’d add protein, but in fact the potato held together quite well once it was baked.

I only ever use skimmed or semi skimmed.

Sounds delicious Witzend. I will definitely copy the Ingredients

Sound great. I will get my husband to make it. 😁

Thank you for that Witzend.
Sounds tasty. Can semi skimmed be used?

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!
