Spinach Quiche with Potato Crust image

While this recipe is delicious using ingredients exactly as listed, it's also a smart way to make the most of any leftover potatoes and veggies. Use 2-1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes and whatever cooked vegetables you have on hand. You can also substitute 1/2 pound Italian sausage for the bacon if you want a heartier quiche. -Heather King, Frostburg, Maryland

This quiche was really easy to make and it turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust and it worked just fine.

The potato crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would roll it out thinner next time.

This quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more seasoning to the filling next time.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good! The potato crust was a nice change from the traditional pastry crust.
