Mashed Potato Bowl Recipe


When KFC first introduced the mashed potato bowl a few years ago I was pretty excited to try it. Mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and breaded chicken topped with cheese, how could this not be good? It was no surprise to me when I tried it and it actually was good. The problem with most fast food places is that they are often hit or miss. So after having many disappointing mashed potato bowls I decided it was time to make my own. The result was fantastic. The chicken pieces were well seasoned and I used Campbell’s beef gravy for a nice rich flavor. This recipe is a little work but I can assure you it’s worth it. This makes for a great dinner and if you enjoy the mashed potato bowls from KFC, you will enjoy this recipe.

A little work? That's way too much work for 4 servings. Easier to drive down and get one. And I've never had a bad one. Maybe it's your KFC if you got that many.

We make this at home all the time but we added a grand's biscuit molded to fit the bowl right between the corn and gravy and I will never go back ... Mmmn

I will be making this at least twice a month. Perhaps more, if it is enjoyed by my Grandchildren as much as it is by me.
