potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients while frozen hash browns save prep time.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour increases fiber; cornstarch can thicken without gluten.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed is a vegan binder; aquafaba is a cost-effective egg substitute.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats; canola oil is often cheaper.

Wash, peel, and shred the potatoes.

In a bowl, mix the shredded potatoes with 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 of a small finely shredded onion.

Add a dash of paprika to the mixture.

Heat oil in a frying pan.

Spoon the mixture into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown.
