POTATO PIE

Good Morning.  Looks like more rain this afternoon.  I am hoping it holds off until tonight so I am not driving home from Los Angeles this afternoon in the rain.  Ugh!  Hopefully it will be over before tomorrow.

Today's recipe is one that I used to make for my family all the time.  It can be a side dish or a great lunch with a salad.  Easy and quick.  I think everyone in your family will love this.  Especially if they like Potatoes, and Bacon and Eggs.  It is also one of those comfort foods and perfect for the kind of weather we are having lately.

POTATO PIE

1 pie crust (store bought or your own)
3 scallions
3 large eggs
1/2  cup cream
6 slices of bacon (or Pancetta) cut into small pieces and fried crisp
2 large Russet potatoes sliced very thin
salt and pepper
1 tart pan

Set oven to 425 degrees

Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet and fry the bacon until crisp.  Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.  Slice the potatoes and set aside.  Chop the scallions.  Beat the eggs and the cream together. Spray your tart pan lightly with cooking spray.  Put the pie crust into the tart pan.  Press the crust into the sides and bottom of the pan.  Cut of excess with a knife or roll your rolling pin over the top.  Put one layer of potatoes into pie pan dot with 1 tsp of butter, a little sprinkle of salt and some ground black pepper.  Sprinkle some of the bacon bits and some of the chopped green onions over that.  Repeat and end up with a layer of potatoes.  Pour the egg and cream mixture over the top.  Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes or until set and the potatoes are done.  Remove from the oven, let set for about 6 or 7 minutes.  Serve warm.

Great with just about meat dish or alone with a salad.

Thanks for stopping in today
