I am a huge lover of making things easy when I have a ton going on. One of my most fave shortcuts is Simply Potatoes. I have used them in Breakfast Burritos and this amazing Grilled Blue Cheese Potato Salad.
Spring is here, and I have been dying to have Paula Deen’s Tomato Pie, it is one of my favorite spring summer side dishes. I have wanted to try it with a potato crust for a while now. Oh, my it was soooooooooooo good, as in so good I had it for lunch the next two days!

I used the garlic and herb hash browns to give them even more flavor.
The crust is simple to make with just egg, cheese and one bag of hashbrowns. Just make sure when you bake it you get it browned, or it will fall apart on you.
While your crust is baking, you are going to slice and salt your tomatoes to pull the extra water out of them, this will keep your pie from being soupy. I usually line them in a colander, so the water drains through the holes while the crust cooks.
