Tater Crust Tuna Pie

I make this pie a lot because it is quick and easy to prepare (I teach during the day, so my cooking time is limited), and it's one of my husband's favorites. I like the combination of potato flakes and french-fried onions in this pastry crust...they complement the tuna/cheese filling well.

6-8 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

CRUST:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mashed potato flakes
1/2 cup cold butter
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
1 can (2.8 ounces) french-fried onions, divided
FILLING:
1 egg
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
3/4 cup mashed potato flakes
1 can (6-1/2 ounces) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives

Directions

In a small bowl, combine flour and potato flakes; cut in butter until
crumbly. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is moist
enough to hold together. Press pastry over bottom and up sides of an
ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Flute edge. Set aside 1/2 cup onions for
topping. Sprinkle remaining onions into pastry shell.
In a large bowl, combine the egg, soup, 1/2 cup cheese, potato
flakes, tuna and olives. Spoon into pastry crust.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until crust is golden. Sprinkle
