I might have to steal that potato crust idea for quiche! (My daughter is celiac and can’t have wheat/barley/rye). Thanks for the idea.
I’m sure it would work for regular quiche. I hope she likes it!
That is a novel idea! I never used grated potatoes for a crust. looks totally delish and I think my kids will love it!! Your book looks intriguing too.
Thanks! Enjoy!
