bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt offers a similar tang with fewer calories.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

1

Peel and shred 4 large old potatoes, draining excess water using cheesecloth if necessary.

2

In a bowl, mix the shredded potatoes with 2 eggs.

3

Add approximately 1 cup of flour to the potato mixture and mix until a dough forms.

4

Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of ping pong balls.

5

Bring a large pot of salted water with some oil to a rolling boil, then reduce to low heat.

6

Gently add the potato balls to the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface.

7

Chop bacon into small pieces and cook in oil until crispy.

8

Layer the cooked potato balls, bacon, and cheese in a baking pan, creating two layers of each.

9

Top with about 1 cup of sour cream and reserved bacon bits.

10

Bake in the oven at 450°F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
