If you are looking for KFC potatoes , these are not it...sorry to say. My 11 yo loves KFC, and I have tried different variations to replicate KFC. I have to agree with LawyerMom. Needed to add extra milk to get these from being stiff and clumped. Only difference is the copious amount of margerine & butter. I think potatoes may have tasted better with these 2 ingredients added after the formation of the potatoes and not boiled in the water. On continues the KFC potato search!

So much like KFC's - thank you! I usually prefer homemade, but I tend to crave these when I'm not feeling well and it will be nice to be able to fix them at home instead of sending poor DH out late at night! 
Thank you!!

These were super-easy to make, and just like KFC! I made mine in the microwave, and they were done in just a couple of minutes. Best with KFC Gravy (#58944). Thank you so much for this recipe!

Consistency and texture was a lot like KFC's, though I had to add a lot of extra milk. However, I think the flavor fell short. I loved how easy the recipe was, but I don't think I'll be making it again.
