KFC's Double Down may have pioneered the the chicken-patties-as-buns movement, but another sandwich has jumped on the breadless bandwagon, while still providing us with the carbohydrate bloat we've grown accustomed to. Presenting the Mr. Potatoskin sandwich.Midtown Manhattan's Cer Té restaurant introduced Mr. Potatoskin -- fried chicken breasts slathered with BBQ sauce, cheese and bacon, stuffed between two potato skins and served with a side of sour cream and chives -- as their April sandwich of the month. If it does well, it'll remain on the menu.
After getting a taste of the sammy, Asylum reader Martin is hopeful it becomes a permanent menu fixture. "The chicken was plentiful, and crucially, the potato was scooped out, which helped to minimize the ingredients spilling out the side," he says. "Without the scoop-out, the ratio of potato to sandwich innards would have been way off. I feel like they really considered the details of the sandwich."
The sandwich costs $8.95, which is about three bucks more than the Double Down, but it's twice the size and quadruple the starch. So Colonel Sanders? You may as well fold your hand, because Mr. Potatoskin just took this round.

The double down by KFC is disgusting! My husband and I each tried one and we couldn't finish the whole thing. It was just too gross!

Oh my.. this will definitely add some calories to your diet! Looks great, but can't eat it all the time..My husband and I have decided that we won't eat at restaurants during the week any more and cook for ourselves. This has helped us cut out a lot of the excess calories and generally eat a lot healthier. There was one problem. He wouldn't get off his lazy butt and I found I was doing all the cooking.. then I went out and found this beginners recipe book for him.. it was so perfect..so hilarious, and very politically incorrect. I won't tell you the name of the book on here.. cause some of the more conservative readers will jump down my throat, but if you have a good sense of humor and are not easily offended.. google "Whipped & Beaten Culinary Works".. but seriously. .don't goto the site if you can't take a good joke!

Mary I don't care how grilled that chicken is. This may be a ''low carb sandwich'' but the fat grams have to be out of this world, not to mention the sodium. It's GROSS! I eat fast food from many different places including KFC but this sandwich is insane and I wouldnt even consider ordering one.

fiona i am on the adkins diet, have been following carbs for a long time. as long as you stay away from sugar, starches, and the white foods, bread, pasta. etc. the diet works well, and might i add it works very well,no reason to go hungry at all.

All I have to say is, Martin, you're a dim bulb. It's a potato SKIN sandwich. Of course they'd scoop out the potato!! Both of those sandwiches sound really gross to me. My heart started racing just reading the ingredients. Too many ingredients, and most of the people who eat this stuff don't bother tasting or savoring it, they just wolf it down. Even though I like all the ingredients SEPARATELY, I think lumping them all together is on the overkill side.
