The McDonald's Cheese Bacon Potato Pie is a new menu item making its debut in Japan this summer to provide customers with a deliciously satisfying and savory snack option. The pie features the brand's signature crispy pastry packed with two kinds of melted cheese including cheddar and gouda alongside creamy potatoes, chopped onions and pieces of smoky bacon. The snack is thus perfect for satisfying cravings for a savory snack that's also inherently easy for enjoyment out of the house thanks to its one-handed format.
The McDonald's Cheese Bacon Potato Pie is being launched with a commercial starring actress, singer and model Mai Shiraishi who is seen as the owner of a stall at a Bon Odori festival encouraging a patron to try it out.
