TORTILLA CHIP CRUST FOR SAVORY PIE (QUICHE, MEXICAN PIE, ETC.)



Tortilla Chip Crust for Savory Pie (Quiche, Mexican Pie, Etc.) image

Great use for those extra little pieces at the bottom of the bag, or chips that are going slightly stale. It's extremely easy, made with the same method as a graham cracker crust. I find that a blender or food processor works best for getting these crushed finely enough - roughly the same as graham cracker crumbs. If you're using salted chips, be sure to omit or adjust any salt in your recipe.

MOM'S TWO-CRUST POTATO PIE



Mom's Two-Crust Potato Pie image

I grew up in a Catholic family, when Catholics could not eat meat on Fridays. Fish and a side dish were Friday meals. One particularly favorite side-dish was this recipe. Hearty, filling and delicious! Cubed ham and finely chopped onions can be added to the potato and cheese mixture if you want more of a one-dish meal. Use American, muenster, havarti, or brie cheese. Happy cooking!

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Savory Pie Recipes     Vegetarian Pie

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
¼ cup butter
¼ cup milk, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup shredded American cheese
pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and black pepper to make medium-stiff mashed potatoes; stir in the American cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fit a crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and fill with the potato mixture. Place the top crust on the pie, roll the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal. Stir the melted butter and 2 teaspoons of milk together in a small bowl, and brush the mixture all over the pie crust. Cut several vent holes in the top of the crust.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes; if the edges are getting too brown, wrap them in aluminum foil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unseasoned potato chips for the best results. Stale or flavored chips will not produce a good crust.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the potato chips in a resealable bag using a rolling pin.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and be careful not to overwork it. If the dough starts to stick to your rolling pin, sprinkle it with a little flour.
  • Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Keep an eye on the crust so that it doesn't burn.

Conclusion:

Potato chip pie crust is a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional pie crust. It is perfect for both sweet and savory pies. With its crispy texture and nutty flavor, potato chip pie crust is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new pie crust recipe, give potato chip pie crust a try!
