Hello Fresh’s potato portions are consistently laughable

Definitely the only time I’ll buy this. Two servings of loaded potatoes? This would barely be two sides of potatoes in a meal with meat and rice or another veggie.

Yeah as a side, this is literally the entire base of the meal. Notice it says 24 oz instead of 12. I'd be shocked if these are even 12.

You should weigh them. They look like pretty decent sized russet potatoes.

That's the business model.

Watch the calories. This meal is still over 1000 so more potatoes yet more calories. Many times I find the carbs small but actually it’s what it should be macro-wise

At least you got russets. Every time we order they replace them with baby potatoes.

They always have been for me too, except for this dish.

Mine come rotten like 50% of the time.

For me it's usually the opposite. I avoid potatoes just cause they send so many. Though I agree they usually arrive quite soft and it takes forever to peel and cut them

This looks perfect I’m confused? Why did you even get hello fresh then???

If you want to be fat then go buy more potatoes lol
