"The mashed potatoes at KFC are especially smooth, and without any kind of texture to speak of, they start off kind of boring. These mashed potatoes don't taste like much of anything at all. This is not a side dish I would recommend ordering unless you're opposed to gravy for whatever reason. Just make sure you have some salt and pepper or hot sauce on hand to give them the boost of flavor they so desperately need."
"You'll find a lot of fried dishes and plenty of carbs, but there aren't many menu items that can break up all that heaviness with something light and fresh. The coleslaw is one of the only exceptions. This cabbage- and mayo-based salad has a lovely crunch to it, and because the cabbage is chopped into such small pieces, it's quite easy to eat. Luckily, the dressing isn't too thick or heavy, so you can appreciate those nuanced, vegetal flavors."
KFC's mashed potatoes are very smooth and lack texture, leaving them bland when served without gravy. Plain mashed potatoes may be chosen to reduce sodium, but they benefit from added salt, pepper, or hot sauce. The KFC menu has many fried and carbohydrate-heavy items, so coleslaw offers a lighter, fresher option. The coleslaw is cabbage- and mayo-based, chopped finely for an easy bite and a pleasant crunch. The dressing is not overly thick, allowing vegetal flavors to come through. Coleslaw pairs well with fried chicken and helps balance heavier dishes.
