## What makes MashMore different

The **potato-shred crispy tender** is the signature item and is not available elsewhere in Albany or the wider Capital Region: chicken wrapped in golden shredded potato instead of flour breading, fried to a distinctly crispy shell. 2pc $4.99, 5pc $9.99, 10pc $19.99, sauces included.

The **build-your-own mash bowl** is the other draw — pick a base (fresh mashed potatoes, loaded fries, or potato cubes), a protein, toppings, and a house-made sauce.

Yes. Our fresh-mashed potatoes are gluten-free, along with our Hot Potato Pie, Beef Chili Fries, and Cheesy Bacon Fries. Our fries cook in a dedicated fryer that never touches breaded items. Gluten-free sauces include honey mustard, cheese sauce, BBQ, garlic ranch, blue cheese, and our house Mashy sauce. Please note our gravy and most breaded meats are not gluten-free — just ask and we'll help you build a gluten-free bowl.

### Do you have anything spicy?

Only a little. The Spicy Chicken Loaded Fries and the Spicy Chicken Sandwich are the hot ones — lightly spicy chicken with Fire Kiss Mayo and jalapeños. Our potato cubes are Cajun-seasoned, which is mild rather than hot. Everything else on the menu is not spicy.

### Do you have vegetarian options?

Yes — try the Cheesy Veggie Smashed Potato or the Crispy Tofu Smashed Potato, plus build-your-own bowls with veggie toppings.

### Do you have vegan options?

Not currently. Our vegetarian dishes contain dairy, so they aren't vegan. If that changes we'll say so here.

### Is your food halal?

No — our meat is not halal certified. If you're avoiding non-halal meat, our vegetarian dishes are the Cheesy Veggie Smashed Potato and the Crispy Tofu Smashed Potato.

### What's your most popular item?

The Crispy Chicken Mash Bowl and Spicy Chicken Loaded Fries are neighborhood favorites — and don't sleep on our signature potato-shred crispy tenders.

### How does the build-your-own bowl work?

Four steps. Pick a base — fresh mashed potatoes, loaded fries, or potato cubes. Pick a protein. Pick your toppings. Then finish with a house-made sauce. Every bowl is assembled to order, so you can make it as loaded or as simple as you like.

### What is a potato-shred crispy tender?

It's our signature, and you won't find it anywhere else in Albany. Instead of a flour breading, the chicken is wrapped in golden shredded potato, which fries up into an unusually crispy shell while the tenderness stays inside. Available in 2-piece ($4.99, includes 1 sauce), 5-piece ($9.99, 2 sauces), and 10-piece ($19.99, 3 sauces).

### What sauces do you have?

All house-made. Honey mustard, cheese sauce, BBQ, garlic ranch, blue cheese, our house Mashy sauce, and Fire Kiss Mayo for anyone who wants heat. Tender and wing orders come with sauces included, and you can always add more.

### What's the difference between mash bowls, loaded fries, potato cubes, and SMASHed potatoes?

They're four different ways to have the same fresh potatoes. Mash bowls are creamy mashed potatoes as the base. Loaded fries are exactly that — fries under the toppings. Potato cubes are crispy, Cajun-seasoned cubed potatoes. SMASHed potatoes are whole potatoes smashed flat and crisped up. Same toppings, proteins, and sauces across all of them, and the portions are the same too — so pick the texture you're in the mood for, not the size.

### How much does a meal cost?

Most main dishes land under $10, with sides and snacks starting at $1.99 and large shareable platters going up to about $32. Kids meals are $6.99 and family combos are built to feed 2 to 5 people.

### What payment methods do you accept?

We take cash, credit and debit cards, and Apple Pay.

### Do you have wings?

Yes — Traditional Mash Wings in 4-piece ($6.99), 8-piece ($12.99), 12-piece ($18.99), and 20-piece ($31.99). The 20-piece is the one to get for a group or a game.

### Can I feed a family here? Do you have kids meals?

Yes to both. Family combos are portioned to feed 2 to 5 people, and kids meals are $6.99. We have dine-in seating and high chairs, plus our own parking lot and a drive-thru if it's easier to keep everyone in the car.

### Do you run any weekly specials?

Yes — 99¢ drinks on Mondays and 99¢ fries on Wednesdays, alongside our regular family combos and kids meals. Check the Deals page for what's running now.

### Are the potatoes actually fresh?

Yes. We mash fresh potatoes daily rather than working from instant or pre-made, which is the whole reason the texture is what it is. The sauces are house-made too.
