KFC is relaunching the Mashies, which has become a very popular favorite food item in Australia. It was first added to the menu in 2009, and it has since been a crowd drawer in KFC restaurants.
KFC Australia is pleased to announce the return of Mashies in its stores however, it was revealed that it will only be available in outlets across Tasmania. Plus, customers must hurry and purchase the snack because it is only back for a limited time.
According to The Daily Mail, the Mashies has become KFC Australia’s most well-received discontinued menu item. As proof of its extreme popularity in the Land Down Under, some Australians even set up a petition for KFC to bring back the mashed potato balls coated in the brand’s signature herbs and spices to the stores.
In any case, KFC Australia will be selling the Mashies in Tasmanian restaurants until March 24 only. The favorite side will be sold at around $3.95 for a 6-piece serving while the 12’s are priced at $6.95. The bite-size potato balls are served with KFC’s original gravy as a dipping sauce.
“We are always looking to delight our fans by introducing tasty new treats or bringing back cult favorites,” the Mail quoted the fast-food company’s spokesman as saying in a statement. “We are currently offering the Original Mashies to the lucky folk of Tassie, but mainlanders should keep an eye out to see whether this golden favorite makes its return to KFC menus nationwide.”
As stated by the spokesperson, while the Mashies is only offered in Tasmania today, there is a chance that these will also be rolled out in other states in Australia. Thus, customers in other locations must watch out for any announcement.
News.com.au reported that the Mashies have been absent in KFC Australia stores for more than a decade so the anticipation for its return is really high. The original Mashies were an instant hit among the diners when it was first introduced in 2009. However, they only stayed on the menu for a short time so the customers were very disappointed when they were removed.
Fans made efforts to bring back the potato snack and their continuous campaign apparently got KFC Australia’s attention. Now it is back once again, albeit for around three weeks only.
