Steps:
- 1. Fill a pot with cold water and put in diced potatoes cook for 15 minutes. Saute chorizo in pan with a tbs. of olive oil. Drain potatoes an add to the pan with chorizo in it. Cook for 5 minute until potatoes brown a little. Turn off heat and let them cool down.
- 2. Get your pie crust ready in your pie plates. Add 1/4 of the cheeses in the bottom of each pie crust so when the custard cooks it won't seep through and make the pie crust soggy. In a large bowl add half and half, eggs, cheese, some salt and pepper about a 1/4 and a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Divide potato mixture between both pie plates add olives and green onions to both.
- 3. Add half of the egg mixture to one pie and the rest to the other. Cook in a 400 degree preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let it cool for 1 hour so the eggs can set.

Steps:
- Grease 6 (4-inch) individual tartlet pans with removable bottoms with butter and place on a baking sheet.
- Place the flour and salt in food processor and pulse to combine. Add the chilled butter and process to a coarse meal. With the machine running, add 5 tablespoons of water in a steady stream until the mixture forms a dough. Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal balls and press into the bottom and sides of the prepared tartlet pans. Refrigerate the crusts for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line the crusts with foil and fill with pie weights (or dried beans). Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely (can be made 1 day ahead).
- Mix the chorizo and remaining ingredients. Pour into the prepared crusts, dividing equally. Bake until the quiches are puffed and cooked through, or when a knife inserted into center of the quiches comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a high heat, and fry the chorizo for 4-5 mins until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper using a slotted spoon, and set aside to cool. Set the pan with the fat aside, and leave to cool. For the pastry, put the flour, 1/2 tsp salt, the paprika, cayenne pepper, cooled chorizo fat and the butter in the bowl of a large food processor and blitz until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually pulse in 4 tbsp cold water until it comes together into a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently until smooth. Wrap the dough and chill for at least 10 mins. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the chilled pastry out on a floured work surface to the thickness of a 50p coin then lift it into a 23cm loose-bottomed tart tin, leaving an overhang. Prick the base all over with a fork, line with baking parchment, then fill with baking beans. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment and beans, then bake for 15-20 mins more until golden and crisp. Trim away the pastry that is overhanging using a serrated knife.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, crème fraîche and cream together, season, then stir in the cheese and cooled chorizo. Pour into the pastry case and bake for 25-30 mins until the filling is just set. Leave to cool in the tin, then remove from the tin and slice. Will keep in the fridge for up to three days.

I had a pie crust to use and some black beans, so came up with this recipe. Be sure to use the Mexican style fresh chorizo, not the Spanish smoked & cured variety.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Use a good quality chorizo: The chorizo is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh pork and has a good flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the chorizo and potatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Grate the cheese fresh: Freshly grated cheese melts better and has a better flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
- Serve immediately: These mini quiches are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be reheated in the oven, but they will not be as good.
Conclusion:
These potato and chorizo mini quiches are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated. With their creamy filling and crispy crust, these mini quiches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
