You might be familiar with “April showers bring May flowers,” but here at HelloFresh we like to say, “springtime feasts bring friends to eat!” Gather all the people you love to welcome the warmer weather with a delicious seasonal feast. To start, roast a prime rib to perfection and serve it with a creamy horseradish aioli. To take the menu up a notch, whip up a squash and asparagus medley tossed with lemon-herb crème fraîche, creamy baked potatoes au gratin, and fluffy Parker House rolls. No feast is complete without dessert, so you’ll cap this meal off with delicate, sweet French macarons. Nutrition values for one of potatoes au gratin is as follows: Calories 160, Total Fat 9g, Sat.

Cooking Steps
About 1 hour before you’re ready to cook, remove prime rib from packaging; place on a baking sheet (larger side down) and allow to come to room temperature.
Prime Rib
- Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Tent prime rib loosely with foil. Roast on middle rack until cooked to desired doneness, 1½-2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, covered, while squash and asparagus medley and potatoes au gratin roast.
- Once prime rib has rested, slice and transfer to a serving platter. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, 1 tsp sugar, and as much horseradish paste as you like. Season with pepper.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
Squash & Asparagus Medley with Lemon-Herb Crème Fraîche
- Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus. Trim, peel, and cut squash lengthwise into sticks (like fries–ours were 3 inches long and ⅓-inch thick). Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds; halve remaining lemon.
- In a medium bowl, toss asparagus, squash, and lemon rounds with a drizzle of olive oil and 1 teaspoon Ranch Seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Spread out in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast on middle rack until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, combine crème fraîche, ¼ teaspoon Ranch Seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Potatoes au Gratin
- Reduce the temperature to 350°F. Remove from packaging, place product on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced 1” apart. Bake on middle rack until warmed through, 25-30 minutes.
- If desired, place rolls on a second baking sheet. After potatoes have baked 17 minutes, bake rolls on top rack until warmed, 8-10 minutes.
- Drizzle veggies with lemon-herb crème fraîche and serve prime rib with creamy horseradish aioli on the side.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Apr 2026- Flavor: The prime rib earned high praise for being tender and juicy, though some found it overly salty or peppery.
- Ease of prep: Many appreciated the simplified holiday cooking, but some wanted more hands-on preparation rather than reheating pre-cooked items.
- Suggestions: Cook at 300°F for about 2 hours 45 minutes; add fresh garlic to enhance the meat's flavor.
- Portions: Four rolls felt insufficient for 8-10 servings; consider supplementing with extra bread and vegetables for larger appetites.
- Vegetables: The asparagus and squash work better sautéed than roasted; many found the ranch seasoning too salty.
Reviews from our home cooks
Always happy with the family holiday/seasonal meals but this was our favorite! The potatoes were a crowd favorite, the prime rib was cooked perfectly, and the rest of the meal was extremely easy to cook without losing any flavor at all! Would order this again for a special occasion.
I was quite taken aback when the prime rib arrived pre-cooked and actually went out Saturday night to buy an uncooked one - not wanting to spend [MASKED]+ on what was still available I decided to give the Hello Fresh one a shot. It was delicious!!! Turned out perfectly. I like that you simplified the prep on these holiday meals - not sure why you made this primarily available the week after Easter, but I was happy to get delivery the one day available before.
Great holiday meal. Cooked at 300 for about 2 hours and 45 minutes. Good cut of meat. Easy sides to assemble.
Far better than we anticipated, portions were a bit small for a family meal like this.
Prime Rib was awesome! Au Gratin Potatoes were greasy, so not a hit. First time we have ever tried macarons, enjoyed them, lemon was the favorite flavor and strawberry second. Parker House rolls were dry and too dense. Asparagus goes bad way too fast.
Incredible. Prime rib was incredible. Hash browns great. Macarons were pretty tasty and well made too. So good!
So good. The meat took longer than planned to heat but the horseradish and potatoes were a hit
This is all great, it just needs more rolls. Four rolls with an 8 person serving is a bit odd. Prime rib is immaculate.
This was an amazing deal and fed 8 people for Easter! It was delicious!
I think you should leave the squash out and just go with asparagus. The rolls were not necessary. The potatoes au gratin were a pleasant flavor addition, but it would have been nicer to have the potatoes as a casserole rather than individual servings. All-in-all, a very tasty meal.
