Smoky Cheese Potato Pie
List of Ingredients
1 large shallot
olive oil
2 medium new potatoes (or substitute Yukon Gold)
2 Tablespoons lightly salted butter
One 10-inch unbaked pie crust (see recipe below)
3/4 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup smoked gouda cheese, shredded
4 whole eggs
1 1/3 cups evaporated milk
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 dash Tabasco pepper sauce
1 teaspoon chopped chives or other fresh herbs
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel shallot, rub with olive oil, and roast uncovered for 30 minutes or until slightly brown and soft. Cool and slice thinly.
Scrub potatoes and slice thinly. In a medium skillet, saute sliced potatoes in butter until tender. Drain on paper towels and cool. Line a 10-inch pie pan with unbaked crust. In a mixing bowl blend shredded cheeses together. Place potatoes in bottom of pie crust. Scatter shallot pieces evenly over potatoes. Spread cheese over the top.
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, soy sauce, Tabasco, and chives. Whisk until thoroughly blended and pour over cheese.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes at 350 degrees or until set in center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Pie Crust
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 Tablespoons shortening
