Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place in a medium microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and microwave until just tender, 8-10 minutes. (You’ll finish the potatoes in Steps 3 and 4.)
• Meanwhile, in a second medium bowl, combine 1⁄2 TBSP Cajun Spice Blend, 1⁄2 TBSP Fry Seasoning, 1 tsp brown sugar, salt (we used 3⁄4 tsp; 11⁄2 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper (for 4, use 1 TBSP Cajun Spice Blend, 1 TBSP Fry Seasoning, and 2 tsp brown sugar). (Be sure to measure the brown sugar, Cajun Spice Blend, and Fry Seasoning—we sent more!) • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt. Transfer to bowl with spice mixture; add a drizzle of oil and turn to coat. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much truffle seasoning as you like. Season with salt and pepper. (Reserve any remaining truffle seasoning for another use.)
• Transfer cooked potatoes to a baking sheet; toss with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Using the bottom of a mug or measuring cup, smash potatoes until they are about 1⁄2 inch thick.
• Arrange potatoes on one side of baking sheet in a single layer. Place chicken on empty side of sheet. (For 4 servings, spread potatoes out across entire sheet; place chicken on a second sheet.) • Top potatoes and chicken with a drizzle of oil; roast on top rack until potatoes are browned and crispy and chicken is cooked through, 15-20 minutes. (For 4, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.) • Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
• About 5 minutes before potatoes and chicken are done, in a large bowl, toss together mixed greens, vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, potatoes, and salad between plates. Serve with truffle mayo on the side for dipping.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the chicken's sweet-and-spicy seasoning, while some found the truffle mayo polarizing 🍗.
- Ease of prep: Several noted the recipe was quick and easy, though some struggled with smashing the potatoes.
- Suggestions: Consider adding extra veggies to the salad and adjusting potato size for easier smashing and crisping.
- Portions: Some wanted more chicken or found the salad too small; others appreciated the reasonable potato amount.
- Texture: A few found the chicken dry; try reducing cook time or using thicker cutlets for juicier results.
Reviews from our home cooks
Top five Hello Fresh meals ever for me. It was very delicious and super easy! The potatoes were perfect and the truffle mayo was outstanding with the slightly sweet, slightly spicy chicken.
This is definitely a favorite. The flavor of the chicken was amazing; a little sweet and a little spicy. And a great way to prepare the potatoes. Easy, not messy and great flavor.
Oh my! This was the absolute best meal! The chicken was wonderfully seasoned. Smashed potatoes were crunchy and soft. The truffle mayo was so amazing. Please offer this meal all the time!!!
This dish is so delicious! The seasoning on the chicken is a great mix between sweet and spicy (although the spicy is really just a little kick). Very easy to make, too!
This wasn't bad, but the recipe could use some refinement. The cook times were too long, both for microwaving the potatoes and for cooking the chicken. The chicken was too salty (salt on the chicken and again in the coating was too much), and I was given twice as much seasoning as the recipe called for (two packets of everything except the brown sugar). The potatoes never really got "crispy" even though I gave them an extra 5 minutes and kept them on the top rack the entire time. The dipping sauce was good, but I only used one packet of truffle seasoning instead of two. Really, not bad, but needs tweaking a little.
My partner is an Aussie. He wasn't sure what made this Aussie but he said it was good! I embellished by adding lots more veggies to the salad. Not enough potato if all eaters are guys. Add more potato for them.
I really enjoyed a REASONABLE amount of potatoes (as opposed to a way too large amount) and fresh greens that wasn't zucchini. And the spice mix was excellent. More meals like this, please.
I cooked the potatoes in the microwave, then squashed them, and made them crispy in the air fryer. Whole meal was quick and delicious.
This was so good! Great flavor on the chicken, & potatoes were great. Salad kinda felt like an afterthought but still a good meal!
The spices provided are just perfect. It made the dish as well as the salads really tasty. The chicken came out a bit hard but not sure if that was the meat or the way we heated.
