Fast-food restaurant chain KFC has announced the launch of its new Smash'd Potato Bowls in the US.
The new dish features mashed potatoes with crispy Secret Recipe Fries, cheese sauce, bacon crumbles and a three-cheese blend.
Priced at $3.49, the bowls are an addition to KFC's menu following a successful test in Pittsburgh in 2023.
The Smash'd Potato Bowls join KFC's Famous Bowls, first introduced in 2006, and the Mac & Cheese Bowls added in 2019.
For an additional $2, customers can add five of KFC's chicken nuggets at the participating locations.
KFC is also rolling out a new $20 Taste of KFC meal.
The combo features six pieces of KFC's Original Recipe chicken on the bone and four individual sides: mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh coleslaw, corn and cheddar mac and cheese, accompanied by four biscuits.
KFC encourages customers to utilise the Quick Pick-Up option available on KFC.com or the KFC app. The service allows ordering ahead and skipping the queue to collect orders from the dedicated Quick Pick-Up shelf.
KFC US chief marketing officer Nick Chavez stated: “Now you can smash your hunger with our new Smash'd Potato Bowls, which take comfort to an 11 with a unique twist on all your favourite KFC flavours smashed together. If you like our Famous Bowls, you're going to love this new bowl.”
Earlier this month, KFC expanded its menu with two new chicken wrap variants: Honey BBQ and Spicy Mac & Cheese. They are available for a limited period.
The two new wraps are an addition to the fast-food chain’s chicken wrap menu line, which already has three other options.
