Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- In a deep pie pan, roll out pie crust to cover pan with 1/4 inch excess, rolled down to form an edge.

Notes
- Adding cayenne pepper for a little spicy heat is optional. You may omit without substitution.
- You may substitute sweet or regular paprika in place of the smoked paprika. Smoked paprika lends such a nice smoky flavor note into the background. You may also omit paprika altogether without substitution.

If made head can I reheated on the microwave?
Yes, this can be reheated in the microwave. Start with half power for about 30 seconds to a minute depending on the size of the slice, then add time in 10-second intervals until you reach your desired temperature.
This has become my favorite quiche recipe. I have made it several times, and it’s never exactly the same. I usually add more veggies- bell pepper, spinach, mushrooms, ect. And instead of bowling and then frying potatoes, I slice them into thin slices through them straight into the grease. I also usually use red potatoes, as they have a lower glycemic index and are a staple in my house. Russets are rarely around.
