meat

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: beans

Tofu provides protein with fewer calories, while beans are cost-effective.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

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

Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by boiling and mashing potatoes.

Sauté chopped onion in butter until translucent, then mix with the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry each filled dough until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels and serve warm with fresh herbs.
