You can use less oil by baking them in the oven in a non-stick jelly roll pan. Jews eat them with sour cream for Hanukkah. making them is definitely a pain in the butt. I always felt like it was de rigeur when my kids lived at home, but since they've headed out - now we don't have to make latkes any more! You’re talking about latkes.

In fact I think I'm lazy enough to simply boil the potatoes and eat them like that. @jane - nope, it was a bad as it could be. @tonitigress - may I recommend boiling your own beans. In a pressure cooker it takes maybe 10 minutes with the gas on and 20 minutes total and it is somewhat cheaper than cans. @diane - it’s definitely not something I would be eating very often.

I fixed a $2 healthy meal for GF and myself tonight. Cut up 1 butternut squash, baked it for 40 minutes, then covered it with a can of black beans (on sale for .66), and a small salad. It was tasty! Oh, and very frugal :) Thanks for all your advice, it is impacting my life....... Toni Hi Jacob…love your blog, I have it linked to my google homepage.
