Co-op’s Roast Potato Crisps are making a comeback

Crisp-mas has come early for snack lovers as Co-op has announced it is bringing back its beloved Roast Potato Crisps after a three-year hiatus.

Back by popular demand, the fan favourite has returned to Co-op stores nationwide this September as part of the retailer’s eagerly anticipated festive crisp range, giving shoppers one of the first tastes of Christmas.

First launched in 2019, the crisps developed a loyal fanbase thanks to their surprisingly bold taste despite a seemingly simple name. More than just potato, they combine sea salt, garlic, rosemary and black pepper to recreate the seasonings that transform the humble roast potato into the star of Christmas dinner.

Now, the retailer has brought it back with a new crinkle-cut twist, joining another festive favourite, Pigs in Blankets Crisps, alongside a gourmet new edition, Wagyu Beef & Caramelised Onion flavour.

Carefully selected

Each flavour is made with carefully selected British potatoes and are hand cooked in small batches for the perfect crunch every time.

Natalie Dawe, crisps, snacks and nuts development manager at Co-op, said: “Our crisps have developed something of a cult following over the years, with our customers regularly championing their favourites.

“This year, we’re delighted to bring back our Roast Potato Crisps and what I love about them is that the flavour always sparks discussion… it’s much more than meets the eye! Combining salt, garlic, rosemary and black pepper to recreate the taste of perfectly seasoned roasties.”

The 150g bags of all three varieties mentioned carry RRPs of £1.75.
