  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Fast food and french fries often go hand in hand, but sometimes it's worth trying out other types of potatoes. In this video, we rank fast food chains' mashed potatoes from worst to best. First on the list is Culver's mashed potatoes and gravy. Despite being made from scratch, they disappoint with a thick, gummy texture and gluey gravy. The lack of seasoning and overpowering starch flavor make them a beige bowl of mediocrity. Perhaps it was a mistake to expect excellent mashed potatoes from a burger joint. The crinkle fries might be a better option. Pollo Tropical, a Latin-inspired chicken joint, also falls short with their mashed potatoes. Made with Yukon Gold potatoes, they should be flavorful, but unfortunately, they are plain and unremarkable. It's worth noting that they contain a high amount of sodium. These cafeteria-grade mashed potatoes will do in a pinch, but they won't impress your taste buds. Stick to Pollo Tropical's Caribbean-style fare and find your satisfying mashed potatoes elsewhere.
  • Subtitles section
  • Fast food and french fries go hand in hand, but sometimes it's worth sampling other spuds.
  • Not all the time, though.
  • Here's our ranking of fast food chains' mashed potatoes, from worst to best.
  • Culver's mashed potatoes and gravy are made from scratch, so we had hope.
  • That was a mistake.
  • This mash is thicker than usual, creating a gummy, stodgy texture you'll struggle to eat.
  • Gravy usually softens potatoes, but in this case, it's just as gluey as the potatoes, with a pudding-like appearance.
  • These potatoes don't even have the peppery kick you might expect.
  • If you don't season them yourself, you're left a beige bowl of blah.
  • Starch is the dominating flavor here, and the blandness overrides any comfort or warmth.
  • Maybe the problem was expecting a burger joint to make decent mashed potatoes.
  • Just get the crinkle fries instead.
  • It'll look almost like mashed potatoes.
  • That's a telltale sign of what a good french fry is." The mashed potatoes coming out of Pollo Tropical, a Latin-inspired chicken joint, flop hard.
  • The chain uses Yukon Gold potatoes, which normally lead to some savory spuds.
  • But next to other add-ons on the menu, like sweet plantains, the side dish is drab.
  • The Florida-based chain goes heavy-handed on the spices on its main menu, so mashed potatoes make sense as a side dish.
  • But these are plain to the point that nothing stands out when you take a bite.
  • Also, it's worth noting that a regular serving contains well over 800 milligrams of sodium, so it's not as if the chain neglected to season them.
  • As cafeteria-grade mashed potatoes go, they will do in a pinch, yet they won't blow your taste buds away.
  • Stick to the Caribbean-style fare Pollo Tropical is known for, and get your fill of mashed potatoes elsewhere.
  • Bojangles' mashed potatoes and gravy features fluffier, pureed potatoes with a dollop of brown gravy or sausage gravy.
  • Admittedly, we expect mashed potatoes to be soft, but these almost taste like baby food.
  • Give us some of those lumps and bumps.
  • These are so thin, it's not uncommon to encounter a watery batch pooled on your plate.
  • They're also too salty.
  • Along with the Southern-style fried chicken and biscuits, they'll dry out your mouth to a parched wasteland.
  • These mashed potatoes do their job, which is to fill your belly as you enjoy your drumstick dinner.
  • But if you're looking for anything other than sustenance, there are other chains doing the comfort staple much better.
  • Go for a different side at Bojangles instead, like the seasoned fries, mac and cheese, or dirty rice.
  • Pollo Compero's mashed potatoes taste unmistakably artificial.
  • This Guatemalan chain drizzles beef gravy on its mashed spuds, yet it doesn't help the dish's grainy consistency.
  • Many online critics suspect the creamed spuds to be the instant kind.
  • Sure, some packages of potato flakes can be great to have on hand in your pantry, but why get them at a fast food place when you can make those in no time at home?
  • It's instant mashed potatoes.
  • Keyword, instant.
  • Very so-so in taste and appearance, this starchy clump resembles something scooped onto a hospital food tray.
  • This is disappointing, given the uniqueness of this fast-casual spot.
  • The Latin American joint claims to prepare its poultry and salads on-site from the bottom up, but the taters don't taste that way.
  • Adding a side of mashed potatoes to your chicken joy meal at Jollibee is a classic move.
  • For the most part, the side dish is decent.
  • There's a creaminess and buttery feel that's smooth on the palate.
  • This consistency is ideal, especially when paired with a juicy piece of poultry.
  • The gravy is not quite so good.
  • We prefer our gravy on the spicier side, and Jollibee's is kind of sugary.
  • There's also a hefty amount of salt.
  • The side dish as a whole is surprisingly thick, too.
  • The indulgent combination of oozing gravy on a heaping scoop of spuds overpowers everything else on your plate.
  • With a price of $2.69 as of September 2023, a regular order is also more expensive than other drive-thrus offering similar portions.
  • Even so, we wouldn't mind digging our fork into some.
  • El Pollo Loco makes a reliable plate of mashed potatoes.
  • The gravy is believed to be made from chicken, so the sauce is a lot lighter and glaze-like than some others.
  • If healthy eating is a priority for you, the dish is quite low in the sodium and calorie department as long as you order it without gravy.
  • Customers can grab a small cup as a snack or feed the entire family with one of El Pollo Loco's 16-ounce tubs.
  • While other fast food chains' mashed potatoes rank higher than El Pollo Loco, that doesn't make these mashed potatoes a bland bore.
  • The generous seasoning cranks up a plain base, and the potatoes aren't mealy or gritty.
  • Some chains are gung-ho on showering the gravy with spices, but El Pollo Loco's classic salt and pepper maintains the taste well.
  • Even if they're the processed variety, you'll probably prefer a cup of El Pollo Loco's mashed potatoes to troubling yourself with making your own at home.
  • Any fast food mashed potato showdown has to include KFC.
  • The notion of grabbing a Thanksgiving staple from a drive-thru window wouldn't exist without this fried chicken titan.
  • "'Fresh potatoes and gravy!' "'Mac and cheese!' "'Should we tell him they gave us two free sides?'' We're always reminded of a home-style potluck when we scoop up a bite of these dreamily soft potatoes,
  • Doused in just enough brown gravy to stir up memories of grandma's kitchen.
  • Frankly, it's the chain's gravy that kicks this mash up a notch.
  • It's a basic gravy made out of beef and chicken and infused with a good shake of black pepper.
  • The sharp savoriness masks the basic flavor of the mashed potatoes.
  • Even though they're sodium-packed, the taste of these taters falls a little on the flatter side.
  • When it comes to judging the best mashed potatoes and gravy, both components of the side dish need to be the complete package to capture our attention.
  • KFC's mashed potatoes might be the most famous, but a few other spots have really perfected the art.
  • Jack's Family Restaurant's mashed potatoes are a breath of fresh air, or, more accurately, a whiff of steamy and buttery richness.
  • For starters, the gravy is strong and peppery.
  • The potatoes are creamy, seasoned, and boiled well.
  • The potatoes are soft, but with a little give that clings to your silverware.
  • You can plunge your fork right in and have no trouble with sauce dribbling while you take a bite.
  • We think the taste is much more real in terms of the mash doled out at mom-and-pop restaurants.
  • And, what do you know?
  • That's what a lot of customers like about it, too.
  • The regional chain has served fresher-than-average diner staples to generations of Southerners, and these spuds are no exception.
  • The simplicity is inviting, and the classic recipe shines through, especially on a platter of chicken fingers and green beans.
  • Admittedly, lots of restaurants deliver similar creamed spuds, but they're a mouth-watering choice that clearly does it better, and much more authentically, than most other fast food chains in the U.S. The Red Skin Mashed Potatoes at Nando's Peri Peri is a thick,
  • Skins-in-style dish that uses red potatoes instead of the usual russet variety.
  • There are visible chunks of potato throughout, and the South African establishment skips the gravy in favor of minced garlic and butter.
  • From the get-go, Nando's stands out from the beige-colored, Southern-inspired dishes we've seen repeated over and over.
  • These have a rustic texture that brings out the hearty nature of the dish's seasonings, and even though there's no gravy, the melted butter takes its place and pools into all of the crevices.
  • We're fans of chunkier mashed potatoes, though a chunky consistency isn't beloved by all mashed potato fans.
  • Also, garlic and butter as a topping can taste too rich quickly, but that's what gives this dish the pizzazz to stand out from other plain-jane varieties available elsewhere.
  • Since 1952, soul food has been Church's Chicken's M.O. Of course, it's no surprise you'll find classic and melt-in-your-mouth mashed potatoes here.
  • For a fast food chain, it's quite authentic.
  • But what makes the home-style staple irresistible?
  • Church's delivers what many expect from this side dish.
  • Does it have a rich potato flavor?
  • Check.
  • Hearty seasoning?
  • Check.
  • Brown gravy so delicious you'd be a fool not to scoop up every drop?
  • Check.
  • Plus, at 110 calories for a standard size, it packs a lighter load than fries, spicy rice, or coleslaw.
  • One can assume major drive-thrus like Church's Chicken are not peeling and mashing the potatoes by hand.
  • Still, that doesn't change how tasty and true to form the side dish Put this version side-by-side with a grandmother's family recipe, and we don't think we'd be able to tell the difference.
  • You'd be hard-pressed to choose Popeyes' Extra Cheesy Mac and Cheese, famously adored by Anthony Bourdain, over the restaurant's fan-favorite mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy.
  • This dish isn't your middle-of-the-road potatoes with lukewarm gravy.
  • Its fluffy mouthfeel and gravy accompaniment sing and dance on the tongue.
  • Of course, a traditional and savory style of gravy has a place in our hearts, but Popeyes' spicy spin puts other brown sauces to shame.
  • The gravy contains Popeyes' signature Creole-inspired seasoning blend of cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and flecks of chopped meat, most likely chicken, that blend deliciously with the well-creamed base.
  • Getting a wallop of spice out of your fast food gravy is a rare occurrence.
  • Thankfully, it's not too strong for the heat-averse, either.
  • Our only complaint is how quickly it vanishes.
  • We guess that's what the family size is for.
  • The best recipe for big flavor ain't about logic.
  • Immaculately blended, doused with salt, pepper, and butter, and finished off with gravy, Boston Market's mashed potatoes are the stuff of comfort food dreams.
  • This dish is a snack you can depend on, and it won't serve you straight-up powdered starch.
  • The franchise is transparent about preparing dishes from scratch.
  • Honestly, there's no need to go to a fancy Southern kitchen when the Massachusetts-based eatery is out here slinging freshly-hashed spuds all the time.
