"Mashed potatoes and chicken are the perfect pairing, and there is no denying that flavorful, creamy mashed potatoes served with gravy are the ultimate enhancer for any meal. Though this particular side dish may not be much to look at when served, KFC's dishes of buttery potatoes will surprise your palate. When covered in gravy, these creamy mashed potatoes are ideal for swiping in bites of fried chicken and crispy fries."
"While you could make a case for looking forward to eating buckets of extra crispy chicken without any side dish, the right sides can round out meals ordered from KFC. KFC aims to please with a line up of menu options, however, and we took it upon ourselves to sample these sides and decide which of these choices are worth your while."
KFC offers a variety of side dishes alongside its fried chicken, including potato wedges, biscuits, fries, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy stand out as the top side because creamy, buttery potatoes pair perfectly with peppery, umami-rich gravy that complements fried chicken and crispy fries. The gravy contains added MSG, while the mashed potatoes list real potato, whey product, natural flavors, and natural colors among ingredients. Powdered potatoes have been rumored but are not listed. Plenty of copycat recipes exist for those who prefer homemade control, and the side works well for quick meals or snacks.
