I have 5 pounds of russet potatoes, and no money to eat anything else for the next couple days. How do I make the most of this?
When you say no money do you mean that if you buy anything you'll be in the negatives? Because if you've got a couple of bucks you can go buy a big bag of cheese from walmart and make enough potato gratin to last you a couple of days.
If not, go to your nearest fast food restaurant and steal as many ketchup packets as you can, then either chop them up to bake in the oven as fries or boil them.

Just boil them, mash them, stick a stick of butter in them with some milk, and there you go.
I could maybe get a back of shredded cheese with some quarters I have laying around, but yeah, broke. I have some sandwich meat (turkey), some brown rice, a dozen eggs, a serving of raspberry yogurt, mustard and soysauce
just bake them in the oven and eat them plain with your hands when you get hungry enough to do so and try not to think about it

Get some butter instead of cheese.
I assume you have salt and olive oil.
If you've got those then you shouldn't have a problem.

or put them in pierogi with onions and cheese
Make several pounds of hashbrowns.
>peel and use a cheese grater on them
>squeeze out as much moisture as you can
>salt and pepper liberally
>get a thin layer of oil in a large frying pan
>fry on medium high heat, cut into quarters when the bottom is crisp enough
>flip each quarter until cooked through
If you can dig out enough quarters get a pack of american cheese and eat a slice on top of each hashbrown, but if not you can just eat as is.

Do you have money for a jug of milk? Potato soup, anon. Creamy mashed potato style, with some diced meat and onion if you can get it. Delicious.

Cut them into wedges. Salt, pepper, optional paprika. Decent bit of olive oil mix it all together, pop into the oven for 20 minutes on 425.

Omg, not OP but that sounds so good. You've awoken the Polish genes within my DNA.
You can do anything and everything with potatoes, mang. I've even heard of tale where someone lived off of them for a couple of months.
Personally, I like to dice them up and then sautee them in olive oil. It's not that creative, I understand; you should also try other poster's suggestions.

Cut thick wedges and pan fry in a little oil with some salt for homestyle fries.
Shred and make hashbrowns.
Slice and bake with milk and cheese for potatoes au gratin.
Peel and boil with ham, sausage, or bacon, then mash a few of the cooked potatoes and add back to the pot for potato soup.
Bake or microwave for baked potatoes.
Cook with onions, curry powder, turmeric and salt for a Indian 'bhaji' dish.
Make a russian potato salad or a cold potato or egg salad.
Mashed potatoes (add garlic or garlic powder along with the usual).
Casserole styles dishes from Greek to lasagna style ones (Gewgle that shit).

Just steal some cheese and butter. Stick it in your waistband over a jacket and buy like a dollar bag of chips so you don't look suspicious.
>>7568903

Boil 'em, Mash 'em, Stick 'em in a stew!
Bump.
I need more, I happen to have some potatoes at home and I this thread is helpful.
