If you're a longtime fan of KFC's Famous Bowl—the popular hodgepodge of mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken nuggets, corn, and cheese—prepare yourself for some big news.
The chicken chain is introducing an exciting new spin on the classic menu item for the first time in years, and it's absolutely loaded with potatoes and cheese.
KFC just announced that its brand-new Smash'd Potato Bowls are hitting menus starting today, Jan. 29. The chain previously tested the bowls in Pittsburgh, Pa., in the fall of 2023,
This is a big development in the KFC world because the brand hasn't introduced a new Famous Bowl iteration since it launched its Mac & Cheese Bowls more than three years ago in August 2019.
The new Smash'd Potato Bowls are pretty much tailor-made for potato fanatics. They feature mashed potatoes topped with crispy fries, warm cheese sauce, bacon crumbles, and a three-cheese blend.
The item will sell for a suggested price of $3.49, but like at any other fast-food chain, prices could vary by location.
Alongside the new spin on its Famous Bowls, KFC is also offering a new $20 Taste of KFC meal that gives customers "all your favorites in one," the announcement said.
The debut of the Smash'd Potato Bowls came just a few weeks after KFC expanded its line of Kentucky Fried Chicken Wraps with two brand-new flavors: a Spicy Mac & Cheese Chicken Wrap and a Honey BBQ Chicken Wrap.
