​KFC Now Selling Mashed Potato And Two New Sides

KFC mashed potatoes are being hailed as a 'game changer' by fans

While the classic combo of chips, corn on the cob, beans and coleslaw has always been a solid order of sides for a KFC feast, we're always, ALWAYS up for the option to double up on carbs.

Well, KFC has treated its UK and Ireland customers to a whole new world of potatoey goodness, having finally added mashed potato to menus this side of the pond.

Brits know their mash; that's not new a new concept. However, for a while now we've been looking to our Stateside brothers and sisters with envy as they pair their fried chicken with delicious, creamy mashed potatoes.

But now the American Dream has reached our shores, thanks to KFC's 'delicious creamy mash made with real potato, providing a lower calorie carb option'.

Priced the same as all of KFC's other sides, a pot of creamy mash costs 99p for a regular portion and £1.69 for the large.

Providing a 'lower calorie carb option', a portion of new KFC mash has 110 calories and 2.5g fat, compared to a regular portion of fries, which have 250 calories and 11g fat.

Here he is!

After years of campaigning for the side to appear on UK and Irish menus, it seems the people are happy.

One happy customer tweeted: "Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! There is a God! @KFC_UKI finally has Mash potatoes!!!"

Someone else commented: "THIS IS NOT A DRILL KFC NOW DO MASH POTATO!!! #bestdayever."

Another wrote: "Kfc mash potato is a game changer."

While a fourth told Twitter: "KFC now do mash, pass it on."

The fried chicken chain has also launched two new sides: Southern rice, which KFC describes as 'mildly spicy colourful rice with veggies, providing a delicious lower calorie carb option', and a garden salad, which is a 'fresh and crunchy garden salad with sweetcorn, tomatoes and buttermilk dressing, that also provides one of your 5 a day'.

...Mashed potato tho!

Then, of course, yesterday KFC slashed the price of its hot wings bucket, meaning the chain is currently selling 20 chicken wings for just £5.99.

"Grab 20 of our best Hot Wings for a full on fiery feast," the website says, explaining that the deal is only at participating restaurants and subject to availability.

The limited offer is available every day until 14 July, which gives you plenty of time to kick off your summer with a hearty dose of delicious fried chicken.

What a time to be a fried chicken fan, eh?
