[recipe] Mashed Potato Crust

[Guest guest]

Here is a great pie crust recipe for a quiche or

any other dinner type of pie filled with veggies.

I added some garlic powder to mine which isn't

in the original recipe I followed from The Enchanted

Broccoli Forest cookbook. I just love that cookbook

since it was one of the first I ever owned as a vegetarian.

In some ways I feel like Mollie taught me how to cook.

 

Mashed Potato Crust

 

2 large potatoes

2 Tbs. butter

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 cup finely-minced onion

Some olive oil, for brushing

 

Scrub potatoes and cut into chunks.

Boil until tender, then drain.

Mash with the butter salt, garlic powder and

pepper.

Stir in the onion and then spoon into a buttered

9 inch pie pan. Using a fork or spoon smooth the

potato mixture around to make an even crust.

Bake at 375? for about 45 minutes. Half way through

the baking, brush the crust with some olive oil.

 

This makes a great crust for a quiche!
