Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Step 3
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is important to ensure a crispy crust.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt, black pepper, and the egg. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 5
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with the olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Press the potato mixture evenly into the pie dish, spreading it up the sides to create a crust. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to compact it firmly.
Step 7
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your desired quiche filling.
Step 9
Once the filling is added, bake the assembled quiche according to your recipe's instructions.
