Potatoes are so versatile. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew, and more yet. We buy a 50lb bag of potatoes from the Costco Business Center and have fun learning new ways to eat them.

It's definitely possible to make potatoes unhealthy, but you can fix them up with your own ingredients and techniques to keep an eye on nutrition.

My current favorite thing to do: Bake 3 or 4 russets, ideally until just before they're baked-potato-mushy. Dice them up in to nickel-sized pieces. Gently toss with a little oil and seasoning. Air-fry them at 400 F until crispy.

Then you can add them to burritos, have them with eggs, or just with some roasted veggies.

What are your favorite cheap ways to eat potatoes?

This is a place to share ways to eat inexpensively - whether that's with recipes, finding coupons, or preservation techniques like freezing or pickling.

PLEASE NOTE: What is considered "healthy" or "cheap"? This will differ for every person. Please take this into consideration when reading and commenting.

All nutrition suggestions/advice should be taken with a grain of salt, as it's best to consult with a medical professional and/or reflect on your own personal eating habits and budget prior to taking advice from friendly strangers on the internet.

Diet- or budget-shaming will not be tolerated. Some people may prefer organic food, others may have food intolerances, some may be vegan, vegetarian, or keto.

Bottom line: be kind, considerate, and aware of advice from strangers on the internet.

Thank you!
