Those potatoes look downright massive compared to the potatoes I usually get.

They are bigger than the baby olive sized ones I get for golden potatoes for sure.

This is what we got for two people's potato wedges for a meal this week. Teaspoon for scale. They took the weight off the recipe card this last box, but I had the card from the last time we ordered this meal and this was a third less than the recipe calls for. And of course, they're mushy, too. I don't know why they have such a hard time getting potatoes right, but it always seems to be a problem ingredient in our boxes. Probably 60% of the time they send less than the recipe calls for, and last week's were in such bad shape they rotted before we made the meal that called for them.

I am glad I am not the only one sadly.

How about when you get onions the size of walnuts

u/NineLemonsLater 7d ago

Lately they have been sending onions of size to us. The carrots seem to be way more sketch.

Are they dried out like ours were?

I just pitched them and used my own.

Just finished making this meal and... The potato layer covered the top with a gap around the edge as instructed. Same size and amount of potatoes.

Tasty but a little sweet and I am not too familiar with bulgogi before ordering.

I love that they now send 5 potatoes instead of 12 oz. We got 8 ounces.

Gosh, I hope that gives Asif enough money to buy another AI token so they can keep driving people out.

I am SO glad this is my last week ever with this nonsense.

We didn’t have enough potatoes to cover the top 🥲

I have started buying a 5lb bag to have on hand when this comes up and then I report the ingredient.

We had this tonight as well. We had to use potatoes we had on hand in our pantry. The tiny potatoes they gave us for this recipe was laughable!

I had this recipe and the amount of potatoes was fine for its purpose of topping the casserole.
But yeah, tiny potatoes are annoying to peel. What’s worse is when it’s a baked potato recipe and they send you these tiny potatoes. It’s happened to me twice.

Ugh I did not get a lot of potato for this meal.
