  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 3 cups cooked leftover potatoes (mashed or cubed) and 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
  3. Pour the potato and cheese mixture into the prepared pie pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup grated cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon pepper sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs (chives, parsley, or thyme), ½ teaspoon garlic salt, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potato and cheese filling.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set, puffy, and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
