KFC Now Selling ‘Mashed Potato Poppers’ For A Limited Time

KFC is now selling Mashed Potato Poppers for a limited time. Does it sound like something you'd want to try?

Fast food chains are trying hard to get our attention these days. They're coming out with value menus, combos, and unique offerings for their customers. These Mashed Potato Poppers from KFC seem to be getting a lot of attention! You can get them on their own with a side of gravy (their gravy is so good) or in a new 'Dunk It Bucket' which includes their tenders, fries, and the Mashed Potato Poppers. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this on a fast food menu before!

According to Food & Wine, these Mashed Potato Poppers are described as crunchy on the outside with a creamy filling of classic KFC potatoes. They truly are unique and one-of-a-kind. They're on menus now but won't be around forever! They're reportedly only around while supplies last. It sounds like the poppers were inspired by KFC stores in Australia.

A KFC spokesperson tells Food & Wine, "We were inspired by a popular KFC menu item in Australia called Mashies, but our new Mashed Potato Poppers are a refined, modern take on our iconic mashed potatoes and seamlessly complement gravy or any dipping sauce on the menu." Personally, I think they look fantastic and I simply cannot see them being bad or disappointing. Mashies are really popular in the land Down Under and I hope they stick around here.

Interested in trying them? You can get a Dunk It Bucket for $7 and it's the chain's first new bucket in 10 years! This is a big deal! Read more from Food & Wine here.

Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you're on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there's nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.

We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I've seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald's bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day...we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.

I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I'd say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old "back in my day, we'd walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. "When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!"

After years of research, I've finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you'll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the 'miscellaneous' category. Without further delay, let's get to the list!

Bacon...mayo...crispy lettuce...what's not to love? It's one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it's on the value menu.

It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

It's actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that's for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.

It's delicious and it's only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.

It's a rare treat to enjoy Culver's Cheese Curds. It's a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can't get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver's I have to stop and get some.
