"HelloFresh" meatloaf and buttered ginger rice meal. Got the half price deal on three recipes to try. Comes in a little cardboard icebox with everything fresh and raw, and you get to cook it up.

Very impressed. Excellent at half price; a bit expensive at full price. Some tastes I would not have tried otherwise.

Homemade Potato Gnocchi - Pan Fried in Brown Butter
Rev: 230114 1630

2/3 c - 50 g Dried potato flakes
2/3 c - 158 g Boiling water
Egg, beaten
½ t Salt
1.5 c - 210 g AP Flour

Notes:

• Dried potato flakes minimizes adjusting the amount of moisture / flour.
• I have cooked gnocchi by pan frying, deep frying, steaming, boiling. This is the best in IMO.
• Pan frying with LOTS of butter, gives the outside texture, with a soft inside.
• The brown butter is rich & adds a “nutmeg” flavor. After cooking the gnocchi absorbs the “excess” brown butter.
