Louisville, Kentucky (January 29, 2024) – Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is expanding its popular bowl offerings with the introduction of the new “Smash’d Potato Bowl,” a hearty and flavorful dish available nationwide for $3.49. This exciting iteration of the company’s fan-favorite Famous Bowl elevates comfort food to new heights by placing potatoes at the center stage.
The Smash’d Potato Bowl features a delectable layering of creamy mashed potatoes, topped with KFC’s iconic Secret Recipe fries, warm and savory cheese sauce, crispy bacon crumbles, and a delightful three-cheese blend. This unique combination of textures and tastes offers a satisfying and nostalgic experience, all at an affordable price. For those seeking an even more substantial meal, five of KFC’s hand-breaded chicken nuggets can be added for just $2 more.
Following a successful trial run in Pittsburgh during 2023, the Smash’d Potato Bowl marks a delicious extension of KFC’s bowl offerings, which began with the introduction of the Famous Bowl in 2006 and was further enhanced with the launch of Mac & Cheese Bowls in 2019.

To complete the feast, four fluffy biscuits are included.
