Great Addition To A Meal

ECBG — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 01:02:49 GMT

We have been getting Reiser's potato dishes in the meat section. From the red potatoes done with garlic to scalloped potatoes with cheese, they save a load of time and work!

We have tried many of these and they rock!!!

Anything that saves me time and work in the kitchen catches my interest. These potato dishes look good and when I am at the supermarket I will look for them! Thanks for the food tip!

I have tried the scalloped potatoes, they are delicious! Have found 2.5 lbs containers at Costco and Sam's for about $7.

Yes! I have tried the scalloped potatoes, sometimes I place left over fried chicken in a casserole dish and cover it with the scalloped potatoes and bake until it's done, simple and easy..

How much sodium do they have--thats one reason I don't buy things like this--way too much salt.

Here, we have a store that was started by a local man and grew into SC. I shop there because they are the largest around, have the best prices, and give gas discounts. They also have gas pumps.

Reser's orignated in Oregon and in fact one of the college football stadiums carry the Reser's name. Reser's has various levels of quality ... from very inexpensive to more custom recipes. They sell out here on the west coast in most stores and a lot of the large chain stores use Reser's to copack their house brands. The product they sell in the meat departments do tend to have a bit more sodium in the products ... this helps w/ extending the shelf life on the products. A few years back Reser's started going to more "clean" products and reduced or eliminated the preservatives they added to extend the shelf life on their salads and sides. (A close friend was an exec at Reser's ... which is how I come to know about the company).

On west coast most potato and mac salads are made w/ mayo vs salad dressing that is prevalent in the midwest and east coast. Reser's has plants across the country, so they may use salad dressing for some of the salads outside of west coast. Salad dressing (Miracle Whip) is NOT something I enjoy. The first time someone made me a sandwich w/ Miracle Whip I about spit it out of my mouth. (I was 16 and silly).

We do not use a lot of prepackaged products, but I have had many of the items and some are quite tasty. I'm a sucker for potatoes and pasta w/ cheese so I would probably eat the entire package all by myself---left to my own devices.

@kate2357 I just read your post about the products with mayo or miracle whip. I won't buy anything with miracle whip as I don't know anyone including me who likes it. It's always Hellmans with us.

Right? We don't eat a lot of stuff w/ mayo anymore ... but if I do make up some tartar sauce or my own salad dressing, it has to be made w/ Best Foods (Hellman's).

Most every commercial mayo has switched over to soy oil. Ruined the taste. Check the label, it is not the same.

@kate2357 I have lived on the east coast for more than 70 years

and I never knew of anyone to use Miracle Whip in potato salad

or macaroni salad. Store, deli, family and everyone I know make those with mayonaise, also tuna salad. Once, about 40 years ago,

I ate at a friends house and she made a sandwich using Miracle

Whip. Like you, I almost spit it out. It is made with corn syrup, too sweet. I never knew anyone else who used it.

The Reiser's products I get are good. I would throw any item made with Miracle Whip! I don't want a mouth of lemon!!!

@ECBG I love fresh lemon and use it often. I don't remember

tasting lemon in the Miracle Whip, it was so long ago. All I remember that I could taste was that unpleasant sweetness.

@Enufstuff

I use a lot of fresh lemon. I don't want lemon on a tomato sandwich. I can't stand Miracle Whip.

@ECBG @We also eat Resers every week. I prefer the Signature Macaroni and Cheese to the Baked Macaroni and Cheese. It's creamier and tastes cheesier. We love the mashed Potatoes. Both of these foods are staples in our house. I did not enjoy the Scalloped Potatoes because each potato slice had a hardness I did not like.
