Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy

What is it?

Smooth mashed potatoes come in a regular or large side, topped with Popeyes’ dark Cajun gravy. The potatoes are whipped to a uniform texture with no skins or chunks, while the gravy is thicker than a typical poultry gravy and leans on black pepper, cayenne, and savory stock notes. Compared with other sides in the Popeyes lineup, this one stays pretty straightforward until the gravy hits. It’s a long-running menu item, often included in combo meals, and the same gravy is also used with the chain’s chicken and biscuits.
