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?

    If you can afford eggs, latkes and gnocchi. You would use maybe 1-2 for a meal of latkes, but you can make a big batch of gnocchi with only a couple as well.

    Latkes are like a heartier hashbrown made into a pancake.
    Potato gnocchi are simple, but luxurious. You can put just about any sauce you like on them.

    Both of these require flour as well, but a bag will last a long time if these recipes are all you’re using it for.
