Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Fried chicken tenders
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Chicken gravy
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the corn by microwaving the frozen kernels according to the package instructions. Set aside.
Warm the chicken gravy in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until hot. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Cut the fried chicken tenders into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the bowls: Start by placing a generous scoop of mashed potatoes at the bottom of each bowl. Top with a spoonful of corn, pieces of fried chicken, and a drizzle of hot gravy.
Finish by sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese on top. Let it melt slightly from the heat of the gravy and mashed potatoes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty mashed potato bowls!
