The time of the budget has risen across America in a way rarely seen in our history, so allow me to introduce the first of our budget meals: Leftover Fry Hash, a quick and easy way to use up the potato product of a previous night’s take out order. I thought I was a fucking genius when i woke up at 6 am and thought, oh my god what if I use my fries for a hash?

Turns out, I was a genius. It’s one of the few times I’ve cooked breakfast for myself and had to turn out a second plate for my husband when he woke up an hour later.


Looking for a meal that costs less than two dollars per individual serving? This Leftover Fry Hash is for you. The below recipe is for one serving. You may multiply as needed for the number of mouths you have to feed.

If you don't have leftover fries from a recent take out order or restaurant visit, feel free to use any type of frozen potato product you have on hand. Allow proper time for cooking according to the package.
​

Ingredients & Cost:
  • 1 handful leftover fries
    • ​Cost per whole Serving: $2.99
  • ​​​¼ bell pepper, chopped
    • ​Cost per 1 whole Red Bell pepper: $1.38
  • 2 eggs 
    • ​Cost per 18 count carton: $1.49
  • Green onion to taste 
    • ​Cost per Bundle: $0.79
  • Optional: 1 garlic clove  
    • ​cost per head: $0.50
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Final Cost by Whole Items:  $7.19
Final Cost Per Serving: $1.57



  1. Heat a small amount oil in a small to medium skillet at medium heat. Use enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. While the oil comes to temperature, coarsely chop a handful of leftover fries and ¼ of a bell pepper to your preferred size. If you choose to use garlic, chop garlic at this stage as well.
  2. Add your ingredients to the oil and allow to cook for about five minutes. Your fries shouldn’t take on much color, but they should begin to firm up again in the oil. When you are satisfied with the texture of the fries, crack into the center of the pan up to two eggs and scramble in with your ingredients.
  3. Cook eggs to your desired consistency. Serve in a bowl with a garnish of green onion and a spoonful of sour cream if you’re feeling frisky. Hot sauce also works
