Ingredients
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease an ovenproof pie pan.
Shred potatoes, then place in a cheesecloth. Lightly salt potatoes, then wring out as much water as possible. Pat with a paper towel, then place in a bowl.
Melt 5 tablespoons butter, add to potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder.
Add 1 egg to potatoes, then mix well. Pour into prepared pie pan; press potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust, making bottom crust fairly thin so that it will cook completely. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk 4 eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir in cream and green onions.
Remove crust from oven; reduce the temperature 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Sprinkle bacon into the crust, then top with cheese. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over cheese carefully.
Bake in the preheated oven until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean and the quiche is puffed and golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
