                                According to former employees and reports, Popeyes mashed potatoes are not made from fresh potatoes but instead use a mix of rehydrated instant potato flakes, water, and seasonings. This is then topped with their flavorful, signature Cajun gravy, which sets it apart from other fast-food offerings.
