 Categories: Dinner, Pies
      Yield: 1 Pie
 
MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
      2 c  Raw potato; grated; packed
    1/2 ts Salt
      1    Egg; beaten
    1/4 c  Onion; grated

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      1 c  Cheddar cheese; grated;
           -packed, heaping
      1 md Cauliflower; broken into
           -small flowerets
      1 cl Garlic; crushed
      1 c  Onion; chopped
      3 tb Butter
      1 ds Thyme
    1/2 ts Basil
    1/2 ts Salt
      2    Eggs; beaten together with
    1/4 c  Milk
           Black pepper
           Paprika
 
  Preparation time: about 2 hours including baking
  
  Heat oven to 400°F.
  
  Set the freshly-grated potato in a colander over a bowl. Salt it and
  leave it for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess water (which can
  be used for soup stock) and add it to the remaining ingredients. Pat
  it into a well-oiled 9-inch pie pan, building up the sides of the
  crust with lightly-floured fingers. Bake for 40-45 minutes--until
  browned. After the first 30 minutes brush the crust with a little oil
  to crispen it.
  
  Turn oven down to 375°F.
  
  Sauté onions and garlic, lightly salted, in butter for 5 minutes. Add
  herbs and cauliflower and cook, covered, 10 minutes stirring
  occasionally. Spread half the cheese into the baked crust, then the
  sauté, then the rest of the cheese. Pour the custard over and dust
  with paprika. Bake 35-40 minutes--until set.
