Chorizo Quiche with Potato Crust image

I put this recipe together after having a CHORIZO QUICHE on a trip to LAS VEGAS. I enjoyed it, BUT it needed something...I'm not a big fan of pastry crust, So I played and came up with this. I made it for a brunch with friends and they loved it.I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!!!
