Ingredients:
2 cups raw potatoes, grated and packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup onions, grated
1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese, grated and packed
1 medium cauliflower, broken into flowerets
1 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup onions, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 dash thyme
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup milk
black pepper
1 dash paprika
Directions:
To make crust: Set the freshly grated potato into a colander over a bowl.
Salt it and leave it for about 10 minutes.
Then squeeze out the excess water (which can be used for stock) and add it to the remaining crust ingredients.
Pat it into a well oiled 9″ pie pan, building up the sides of the crust with lightly floured fingers.
Bake for at 400F for 40-45 minutes or until browned.
After 30 minutes, brush the crust with a little oil to crispen it.
Turn down the oven to 375 F.
Filling: Saute onions and garlic, lightly salted in butter for 5 minutes.
Add herbs and cauliflower and cook covered, 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Spread half the cheese into the baked crust, then the saute then the rest of the cheese.
Pour the custard over and dust with paprika.
Bake 35-40 minutes until set.
