Watching mythical kitchen about hash browns and wondering if anybody have any ideas on how to make potatoes into other things that are extremely cheap. I usually have only potatoes and margarine at last 2 weeks before I get food stamps because it isn’t enough to cover basic food things.
Does anybody know any good ideas or recipes or something that does not require a lot of other one time ingredients? That’s really cheap on quantities, like spices, where it can last a while with it being really inexpensive.
Things I have is absolutely basic cooking skills and cooking appliances. Microwave oven and stove. I don’t have much of anything because and can’t afford anything
Anybody have any ideas or recipes or thoughts?
A couple of years ago I picked up a recipe that someone shared in response to a post about three ingredient recipes. I partially boil potatoes, dump them on a cookie sheet, fork smash them, pour butter over the top, and throw them in the oven until they’re a little brown and crispy on the tips, and then salt. They are so good and you could sprinkle a little bit of anything on top of this -any kind of seasoning. A little bit bacon would be good, or ham or leftover taco meat or some spicy chicken. It’s kind of a good base for whatever leftovers you might have in your fridge and it has a little better presentation than just mashed potatoes. People are always amazed at how good it is. Who knew that potatoes, butter and salt were good together?
