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?

    One thing that does help is to make broths and roux to help stretch your dollars further.

    I take my leftover vegetable trimmings and put them into a freezer bag and froze them. When I make broth I toss them in and you’ve turned trash into nutrients and flavour (just make sure you strain them out of your broth).

    I do not use potato peelings first that, but they probably work fine.
