Equipment

Notes

*Or you can use popcorn chicken or chicken strips.
*I prefer to buy ready made mashed potatoes for this recipe; you can also use instant mashed potatoes or homemade mashed potatoes.
How should I store mashed potato bowls?
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They should keep for 3-5 days.
How do I reheat them?
The best way to reheat your mashed potato bowls is in the oven at 350° F. This method will help to keep your chicken crispy. If in a hurry, reheat in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, checking every minute to stir or see if it's hot; with the microwave, chicken will be less crispy.
Can I make ahead and freeze KFC Bowls for quick meals?
Yes, you can. Just be sure to store your ingredients in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. They should keep for 3-5 months.
