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 delicious! I made it for a brunch party and it was a big hit. The potato crust was crispy and the spinach filling was creamy and cheesy. I would definitely make this quiche again.

I've made this quiche several times now and it's always a hit! The potato crust is so easy to make and it's so much healthier than a traditional pastry crust. The spinach filling is also very flavorful and satisfying. I highly recommend this recipe!

This quiche was just okay. The potato crust was a bit too dry and the spinach filling was a bit too bland. I think I would have been better off using a traditional pastry crust and a different filling.

I was really excited to try this quiche, but I was disappointed. The potato crust was too thick and doughy, and the spinach filling was bland. I think I would have been better off using a traditional pastry crust and a different filling.
