The story of Taylors Duck & Roast Potato Ridge Cut Crisps
Crisps from potato people
Some families pass down a recipe. The Taylors pass down a potato farm, and have done since 1927. That is the story behind the bag in front of you. You open it meaning to have a handful with your sandwich. A few minutes later it is folded flat, you are tipping the corners into your hand for the last bits, and you are telling yourself that was the plan all along. It was not. It never is.

Four generations of potatoes
The Taylor family has farmed the land around Errol in Perthshire for around 100 years, four generations of it. James Taylor's great-grandfather started a potato farming business in 1927. In the 1980s, chairman George Taylor moved into washing and packing potatoes with the Taypack business. Then in 2009 he did the obvious thing with a farm full of potatoes and started making crisps. It took a while to get there, but nobody can say they rushed it.
The ice cream years
The crisps started life as Mackie's at Taypack, a joint venture launched in 2009 with Mackie's of Scotland, the Aberdeenshire ice cream and chocolate people. If you remember a bag with Mackie's on the front, that is where it came from. The Taylors took their stake to 75% in 2013, bought out the rest in 2022, and the whole lot was rebranded Taylors Snacks. New name on the bag, and it happens to be the family's own.
Two million bags a month
From The Old Brickworks in Errol, near the family farm, they now turn out more than two million bags of snacks every month. Straight cut, ridge cut, lentil waves, popcorn, and a limited-edition Haggis & Cracked Black Pepper that is exactly as Scottish as it sounds. They make an "extreme" range of crisps for Marks & Spencer too, and in 2024 they landed in every Aldi across the UK. Not bad going for a potato farm.
