SHREDDED POTATO QUICHE

POTATO-CRUSTED QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into thin ovals (use a mandoline if you have one). Toss with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then arrange in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Bake until tender and pliable but not brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Line the side of a 9-inch pie plate with overlapping potato slices so they stick out above the rim; line the bottom with the remaining slices.
• Whisk the eggs and egg yolks, half-and-half, chives, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl; stir in 1 cup cheese. Pour into the potato-lined pie plate and scatter the remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake the quiche until just set in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Arrange slices in a circular pattern covering bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, slightly overlapping; slices should extend over rim by about 1/2 inch (they will shrink when baked). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes.
• Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in milk, cream, and 3/4 teaspoon salt until well combined. Pour egg mixture into crust, stopping just short of top (do not overfill). Sprinkle herbs on top. Bake until center is just set, about 40 minutes. (If crust edges are getting too dark, tent with foil.) Let cool about 1 hour; serve room temperature or chilled.
