Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
To make this dish for a brunch crowd, Grandma doubled the recipe and used a 13 × 9-inch baking dish. She pressed the potatoes into the baking dish as directed, then mixed and baked the quiche according to the recipe. For an attractive garnish, she sprinkled paprika or chopped fresh parsley on top.
