My grandfather was born and raised during the Great Depression. Consequently, he was one of those incredibly frugal men who lived well below his income because he "didn't need much." He drove a POS car until it became a classic, then an antique, then he sold it for ten times what he'd bought it for. He even had his own garden until he was too old to tend it properly, but his neighbors all had gardens and felt sorry for the lonely old widower and brought him extras from their gardens for free! When he died, he left my Mom a small fortune. One thing grandpa did very well was save money on food. He rarely threw anything out. He composted his organic garbage right back into his garden, washed out his cans and took them to a steel mill that happily bought all his cans long before "recycling" was even a word.

I was sooooooo impressed with this recipe. EASY too. Most Excellent flavor and the sauce was so tasty my husband was looking for more. I may have to double the sauce part next time just for him. I was a little Freaked out by the Fuax - tay - toes, but I followed the recipe to the letter and I was so surprised at just how good they where. I am going to try them on my kids when they come home. When I took off the processor cover they even smelled like potatoes. OMG ..The texture I had to get used too, the taste is amazing. Both of these are keeper recipes for sure I will be making this one again. I made Tarter tots just in case my husband did not like the Fuax -tay- toes. He LOVED THEM.... It took me less than 30 minutes to make and serve the entire meal. Thank you Lena imaluckydog
Surprise! Even my mom, who is the epitome of Southern Belle, pronounced them delicious. I nearly fainted from shock.
I can't wait to share a soup I just discovered! Slurping good! I'll try to type it up tomorrow before I leave for the weekend.
I control the salt, sugar and fats in my recipes. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the quick and easy recipes. imaluckydog kathy
