Notes

  • Tater Tots: You can find these in the frozen food section hanging out wirh the french fries. They are basically potatoes that have been chopped finely and seasoned and made into that adorable Tater Tot shape. You are going to want to thaw them out so they will mush obediently into your quiche pan.
  • Swiss Cheese: We love Swiss for this recipe, but you can swap in an equal amount of your favorite melty cheese. Cheddar, Monterey Jack and even a spicy Mexican blend cheese will all work.
  • Milk: Lowfat or whole milk will work just fine – don’t use skim as it doesn’t have enough heft.
