I searched the forums and couldn't find anything previously reporting this, if so sorry!! Thought it might be good info for some.
WalMart Announces New Savings on Thanksgiving Meal Favorites $20 Thanksgiving feast includes:
One 12-pound Grade A turkey* Three 11 to 15.5-ounce cans Green Giant vegetables Two 14-ounce cans Ocean Spray cranberry sauce Three 6-ounce boxes of Stove Top stuffing One 5-pound bag of red potatoes One 12-count package of Sara Lee dinner rolls One 22-ounce pumpkin roll cake
Not bad, but as a native Idahoan, I would be disappointed if someone served me 'reds' at Thanksgiving dinner. Yukon Golds or Russets are the only acceptable mashed potato choices on turkey day.
Never mashed a russet - I thought they were better for baking and homemade fries (being drier and mealier than white potatoes or Yukon golds, for instance). I do know that red potatoes make great mashed, fried and "smashed." Sadly, my immediate family prefers BOXED potatoes to my homemade mashed (fear of lumps). I still make the homemade ones on T-day, though. Lumps be damned!
