• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 Tablespoon fresh chives or green onion

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place potatoes in 9-inch glass pie plate and bake for 20 minutes.  Remove, reduce oven to 350 degrees.  Cool enough to mash potatoes into a thin crust on bottom and up sides of pie plate.  Arrange sausage over crust, then top with 1 cup of cheese.  Mix remaining ingredients and carefully pour into crust.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set.  Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese on top and let melt.  Cut into wedges and serve.
