Toppings:
- 2 cups cooked popcorn chicken or chicken tenders, chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in sour cream if using.
- Heat the Toppings: While the potatoes cook, warm the corn and gravy in separate saucepans over medium heat. If using frozen corn, microwave or steam until heated through.

- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the mashed potatoes into serving bowls. Top with crispy chicken, warm corn, and a generous drizzle of brown gravy.
- Add Cheese and Garnish: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Let it melt slightly from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy this delicious comfort meal!
