Notes

  • Use a sheet pan under the spring form cake pan, as the liquid filling can leak.
  • If the potato base is not totally baked then you can slide the quiche in a pan and complete the bake of the potato.
  • for warming up the quiche if made ahead or to warm up left over quiche, warming up in the pan is a good idea.
