  1. I’m guessing you mean “6 cups peeled Red Potatoes, cut into chunks” for “peel and chunk red potato”, I found it a confusing wording choice and searched for the term thinking it might be a mix of peels and mashed potatoes i needed to prepare first. I understood after reading the directions but while i was in the grocery store just buying ingredients It was a little confusing.

    1. Hi Kathryn, It does take some time to understand the wording of our system. That is the beauty of our membership – providing a grocery list that tells you how many red potatoes to purchase. Then the prep sheet tells you how many of those potatoes to take and the instructions to prep them. I’m glad that you figured it out on your own! Enjoy!
