A friend's wife sent me a pic of a quiche she did in a cast-iron skillet + I elaborated on the theme. Using hash brown potatoes as a crust I browned them then formed them into a crust, bottom + sides. then used my quiche Lorraine recipe to fill the void. (Sauteed bacon, onions,garlic+ mushrooms) beaucoup cheese, heavy whipping cream, more eggs than your Dr. recommends + spinach. I like to spice with Hungarian paprika. It is VERY good! Regardless of the 70s attitude, REAL men do eat quiche.+ cook it too. Never mistake motion for action. | ||

Y'all are making me real hungry, Randy. I usually use a quiche pan with removable bottom, so I have to be really careful to seal it with crust or it will leak. Your hash brown crust sounds fabulous, though, and would work great in a cast-iron skillet. I usually use the Joy of Cooking recipe, and add mushrooms, broccoli and lots of Gruyere ...

My wife does a hash brown casserole which is pretty much the same thing. Fully cook the hashbrowns, put them in a casserole dish and then add the cooked bite-size sausage bits than your egg mix and bake it until done. It’s delicious! Same can be done with tater tots but hash browns are better. You have to fully cook the tater tots first. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Randy, Boomie, are these hash browns the double-cooked from scratch kind? I confess I have never tried making real hash browns. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

fully cook the hashbrowns first. https://youtu.be/7xDmCLP5mhY https://youtu.be/ttK2YP_ayYI Or what I do is grate the russet potatoes directly into a heated cast iron skillet with plenty of vegetable oil for less fuss. for extra crisp, toss the shredded potato with rice flour. You can add the cooked sausage and egg mix to the cast iron and put in the oven to bake. Add sharp cubes or shredded cheddar on top. cool till all liquid egg is firmed up. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

Bill, boomstick is correct on shredding the russets with a standard grater. I however don't put the grated potatoes directly in the hot skillet; I soak them overnight in water, then cook the next day. They absorb the water + it makes for some really fluffy + tender hash browns. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

I do a similar thing at Christmas for friends in the community; baking Kahlua Pecan Pie in tarts for distribution, let's face it, no one can afford to bake everyone a whole pecan pie. If there is any interest I will post my Kahlua Pecan Pie recipe. It is quite good + almost at the same level as my buttermilk pie. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

This pie talk is dangerous. I made my first Key lime pie about six weeks ago -- dang it was spectacular -- and I am still working off the calories ... Have made Kahlua pecan -- another "Dang!" pie, but never tried a buttermilk. I really have to do this quiche first.

Yes, Randy please post both! Speaking of pies, I just love the large individual meat pies that are made and sold in many bakeries and butcher shops in South Africa and Zimbabwe. I have eaten many of those on Safari! Damn, that makes me hungry! | |||

My dad made the world's best biscuits. Recipe was simple. Salt, buttermilk and self rising flour. Don't have amounts as he didn't measure. Make a moist dough--if too dry add buttermilk if too moist add more flour---then form biscuits by hand and place on a greased platter, then turn them over so that top and bottom is greased--then bake. | |||

growing up so close to mexico you could fart and knock a mexican off his mule that was in mexico, all we ate was tortillas and wonder bread. biscuit dough came out of a tube you smashed on the counter top and was only for dinner with guests. sometime in the late 80s i think i drove to san marcos to visit a son there in college and we ate an early breakfast at some git it n go place for the early working crowd that had a buffet. he had me try a plate of biscuits and sausage gravy. had never heard of it before. i damn near went into a frenzy! until i found out you gained a pound with each biscuit. got home and told my wife about biscuits and gravy. she said "whats that"? | |||

Biscuits and gravy is a cowboy or blue collar laborers breakfast for people who burn a few thousand calories a day. Some jobs can burn 6000 to 7000 calories a day. (ask me how I know) I sometimes cook it for my co-workers and it is a big hit. If you want extra decadence, mix in grated frozen butter to the biscuit dough.

BTW, you can cut back on the coconut + add some cocoa powder, alternate buttermilk for heavy cream + turn this one into a recipe for chocolate chess pie. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
