Co-op revives Roast Potato Crisps after 3-year hiatus

Co-op first launched Roast Potato Crisps back in 2019.

The crisps quickly developed a loyal fan base thanks to their "surprisingly bold taste".

They combine sea salt, garlic, rosemary, and black pepper to "capture the taste of a classic Christmas roast potato".

However, in 2023, Roast Potato Crisps disappeared from Co-op shelves, and shoppers have been calling for their return ever since.

One fan commented: "Bring back the Ultimate Roast Potato flavour."

Another added: "Any chance of Roast Potato flavour returning please?"

A third person said: "Where did your roast potato crisps go?... please can we have them back?"

Crisps, snacks and nuts development manager at Co-op, Natalie Dawe, 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.

"Alongside Pigs in Blankets and our new Wagyu Beef & Caramelised Onion flavour, we're excited to bring that early festive feeling to shoppers."
