Very important, do not eat the potato crust before baking the quiche!!!! because its DELICIOUS! Otherwise, make twice as much potato crust as you need!!! I also just used 4 whole eggs. Really enjoyed the quiche and the crust truly is a bonus :) I would happily make this again, I served it with baked butternut and garlic green beans. Lovely meal, made for Photo Tag Winter

This was really good and serves 4 very generously. I used 4 whole eggs vs. eggs and whites because I couldn't care less about lightening it up. I'll play around with different spices next time. It was fine with just salt and pepper. My guests liked the potato "crust" instead of the traditional pastry type. This recipe is a keeper!
