Celebrating National Potato Day with Taylors Snacks

It’s that time of the year again when we pay homage to our hero ingredient, the humble potato. Yes, it’s National Potato Day (19th of August)! Here at Taylors Snacks, we’re all about the tattie, and we’re celebrating in a big way this year with an exciting #TattieArtChallenge and a light-hearted ode to our beloved spud.  

four different types of potato dishes, from left to right; mashed potato, roast potatoes, chips and a baked potato with baked beans.

A National Potato Day ode to the tattie!

To kick off the National Potato Day celebrations, we’ve penned a poem dedicated to our favourite vegetable… Have a read over, hopefully it’ll make you smile.  

Potato, oh Potato, fresh from the earth,  

This National Potato Day, we know your worth.  

Hardworking Tattie in the morning dew,  

For the love of crisps, we salute you.  

Sprouting in fields, where the thistles blow,  

With a playful wink, and a hearty ‘hello!’  

Pulled from the grounds, with seasoned hands  

Off to Taylors Snacks, to meet your fans.  

From plough to pack, your journey we trace,  

Turing you into crisps with unmatched grace.  

Tumbled and spun, you put on a show,  

On National Potato Day, you’re ready to go.  

Golden and crispy, a seasoned sight,  

Transformed Tattie, you’re our delight.  

Without you, our snack selves wouldn’t be so bright.  

So, here’s to you, on this fine potato day, 

Taylors Snacks stands up to say, 

To the humble Tattie, our cheers we send, 

You’re not just our ingredient, but our truest friend.
