1

Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid (¾ cup for 4 servings), then drain.Return potatoes to pot and mash with half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest later) and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3
While potatoes cook, toss carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with half the flour; rub to coat.Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my meal delivery spending through three summers. The pattern’s embarrassing: June hits, I promise myself I’ll meal prep and eat clean, then by July I’m ordering Chipotle at 9 PM because it’s 95 degrees and I can’t face turning on the stove. August?

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I went vegan for 90 days while working 60-hour weeks.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I spent last summer testing every meal delivery service that promised to keep me eating clean while Nashville hit 95 degrees by 10 AM. The goal: figure out which services actually deliver fresh food that doesn’t wilt in transit, and which ones are just marketing “summer...
Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I’ve cooked through a lot of meal kits trying to impress dates. Some worked. Some. did not.

Be the first to rate this meal ↓ Opening I tracked my mom’s Uber Eats spending for a month. $387. That number made me physically uncomfortable.
