A potato-shred crispy tender is a raw chicken tender, hand-breaded and wrapped in potato we shred in-house, then fried into a craggier shell that stays crisp longer than flour breading. It is MashMore's signature item, and as far as we know nobody else in Albany or the wider Capital Region makes it. 2 pieces $4.99, 5 for $9.99, 10 for $19.99.

Most chicken tenders are breaded in flour. Ours are wrapped in golden shredded potato instead, which fries into a shell that's genuinely crunchier than a standard breading — and stays that way longer.

It's the item we get asked about most, and as far as we know nobody else in Albany or the wider Capital Region is making it. If you try one thing here, make it this.

Why this one

What makes it different

Shredded potato, not flour
The coating is potato, and we shred it ourselves. Raw chicken tenders, hand-breaded, wrapped in potato we shred in-house, then fried — a crispier, craggier shell with more surface area for sauce to catch on.
Sauces included
Every order comes with sauce: one with the 2-piece, two with the 5-piece, three with the 10-piece, at no extra cost.
Sized for a snack or a table
A 2-piece is a $4.99 snack. A 10-piece feeds a group, and pairs with our wings for a game day spread.

Before you order

Common questions

What is a potato-shred crispy tender?
A raw chicken tender, hand-breaded and then wrapped in potato we shred in-house, and fried. The shreds crisp into a craggier shell with more surface area for sauce to catch on, and it holds that crunch longer than a standard breading does.
How much are the potato-shred tenders?
Three sizes: 2 pieces for $4.99, 5 pieces for $9.99, and 10 pieces for $19.99. Sauce is included with every size.
Do the tenders come with sauce?
Yes, and it is included in the price — one sauce with the 2-piece, two with the 5-piece, three with the 10-piece. Five of our sauces are made in-house, including the house Mashy sauce and Fire Kiss Mayo.
Are the potato-shred tenders gluten-free?
No. The tenders are breaded, so they are not a gluten-free item. Ask us when you order and we will point you to what is — the fresh mashed potatoes and the dedicated-fryer fries are the usual starting points.
Where else can I get potato-shred tenders in Albany?
As far as we know, nowhere. We are not aware of anywhere else in Albany or the wider Capital Region wrapping chicken in shredded potato instead of flour. It is the item we get asked about most.
How many tenders should I order?
A 2-piece at $4.99 works as a snack or an add-on to a bowl. The 5-piece is a meal on its own. The 10-piece feeds a group and pairs with our wings for a game-day spread.
