KFC’s new Smashed Potato Bowl

It’s a layer of yummy mashed potatoes topped with crispy fries, warm cheese sauce, bacon crumbles and a three-cheese blend.

“Smash your hunger with a next-level twist on a fan-favorite Famous Bowl that makes potatoes the star,” KFC said in a press release.

It’s all of KFC’s flavors “smashed together” for just $3.49, and you can add five of KFC’s hand-breaded chicken nuggets for just�$2 more.

The bowls first launched on the menu in Pittsburgh at the end of 2023, and have now gone nationwide after proving really popular.

Bowls were first seen on the KFC menu in 2006, with potatoes, chicken and gravy layered together. Mac & Cheese Bowls then launched in 2019.

It’s a ‘yes’ from fast food fans

The Smash’d Potato Bowl arrived nationwide on January 29 and it’s already getting some raving reviews from fast food fans across the US.

“Okay that’s really good,” one TikTok user said. “The taste of this reminds me of Arbees’ loaded potato bites.”

“I mean, it tastes good,” another agreed. “The mashed potatoes are creamy, the french fries are crispy crunchy. The cheese in there is great. You got the crispy bacon going on.”

“This is delicious. Oh my god, this tastes so good,” someone else said. “The mashed potatoes, very very good. Bacon, has a lot of bacon. It has a perfect mix with the yellow and the white cheese.”
