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?

    Buy a bag of dried lentils, very cheap and highly nutritious with 25% protein. I use this recipe all the time. If you don’t have an instapot they can boiled on top of the stove, just takes a bit longer (you can soak a cup of lentils overnight in water to speed up cooking time). Goes wonderful on top of a baked potato
