Recipe

Thaw potatoes between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press potatoes into bottom and up the sides on an ungreased 9 inch pie plate drizzled with butter.

Bake at 425° for 25 mins or until lightly browned - cool on wire rack. This crust can be frozen after baking.

Layer from bottom up on crust (if frozen - has been thawed). Ham · Onion · Peppers · Pimento · Cheese. Cover with egg/milk mixture.

Bake at 375 ° for 35-40 mins or until set. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

We like to serve this with about 1 teaspoon of strawberry preserves on the wedge.

Serves 4.
