Cape Cod, Famous For .... Potato Chips?

What’s crunchy, potato-flavored, ever-so-satisfying, and Made on Cape Cod? Cape Cod Potato Chips, of course. Plural, please, because it’s impossible to eat just one. I’m an addict. In fact, potato chips are one food I cannot resist, which is why I never buy any. But we have family visiting, so the larder is full.

There’s nothing like a Cape Cod potato chip, according to my son, who lives in California. This visit he had to try every single variety available. My favorite remains the 40% Reduced Fat, and you can guess why ...

It’s possible to visit the factory in Hyannis, a fun rainy-day activity for anyone visiting Wellfleet in June. Casey Barber, who writes Good Food Stories, reported on a recent visit in a blog post last week. Do check it out.

I'm right w/ you, Sandy: love 'em, never buy 'em.......unless compelled to by hosting obligations. And then I have to check them to make sure they're good enough for guests. Worst mistake: opening the bag in the car on the way back from the market and getting caught in traffic. Where did they go?

The factory was closed the week we visited! We were so disappointed! Everyone wanted to go

oh wow- I have never seen this brand- any kettle cooked potato chip is the best in my opinion. I noticed on the link page you posted- they made mention that the factory also produces cheese popcorn- wow- I love popcorn :)

Always been a fan of CC brand chips. I have an old buddy that works for the owners in North Carolina ... he brings treats when visiting. I miss the Dark Russet variety they don't make anymore ...

I try not to keep chips and other snack food in the house. It helps that we live a good 30 minutes from the nearest store, so making a chip run is kind of a big deal.

I hope you purchased the Cape Cod bags in the photo as an editorial necessity for this post - nothing like writing off potato chips as a business expense! :)
