You have to have mashed potatoes. One year I went to someone house and they didn't have any. It was a disappointment and I still remember !!!

Don't tell the Feds, but we had Thanksgiving last year with ham instead of turkey….shhhhhhhhhhh

But we would never not have mashed potatoes and gravy! It's a SIN!

Turkey or no turkey is dictated by state law. Mashed taters are a federal matter.
FWIW, we never do turkey! We do a different meat but otherwise all the sides are straight-up traditional carb overload.

Yes, make mashed potatoes.

And they are sweet potatoes, not yams.

[Anonymous]

Okay, given the extremely rare near-unanimous DCUM responses, I will make the damn potatoes.

[Anonymous]

Yes, mashed potatoes please.

[Anonymous]

Yes. That marshmallow-yam stuff is disgusting. Don't insult your guests like that.

This is OP...guests are all family and we LOVE and adore the marshmallow goodness!! I actually have to make two pans.

I am sorry to hear that.
