Tayto Crisps

Published on Monday, August 18, 2008, by Amy Wisniewski / Edit Post

I love crispy, salty potato chips with a sandwich, but most commercial chips are overly oily, too thick, or covered in mouth-coating powders. At a nearby deli, I discovered Tayto crisps. These crisps—don’t call them chips—come from Northern Ireland, and their distinctive, light flavors (such as Wuster Sauce and Pickled Onion) are surprisingly addictive. Whether it’s because the company uses Lady Rosetta and Lady Claire potatoes, or because it takes special care in harvesting, slicing, and frying them to delicate perfection, Taytos make my sandwich, and my Guinness, taste better.

  • To add the Picture you have is the Republic of Ireland version of Tayto. Hence for my other post. But they are also made in Northern Ireland but are not the same company as the pic you show.

    This link is the southern version.

  • I know this an old post but I came across it when I was searching for locations in Boston that sells them.

    Tayto Crisps are made in the Republic of Ireland not Northern Ireland. Their Factory used to be in North Dublin in a place called coolock but now they are part of the Largo Foods groups who are based in Co Meath.

  • Absolutely, terribly addictive, good thing I can't get my hands on them in my area!!! Okay, I'm weak, tell me where to buy them...
