I had to get on and just share this amazing cheap recipe with you! I have never made such a delicious, thrifty recipe that yielded so many results. For the cost of a few ingredients, I had two dinners, one to freeze, and another smaller dish for lunch the following day. Simply AMAZING!

Add 4-5 large potatoes to boiling salted water. Drain when soft and make your favorite mashed potatoes. Set aside. In another pot add remaining potatoes with carrots, boil until soft.
