C&C Group says to sell Tayto Crisps to Largo Food for 62.3 mln eur". Forbes. 7 May 2006. [ dead link] The Coyle family continues to run Tayto Park as a family business, with Ray and wife Rosamund’s son Charles working as the general manager. Their daughter Natalya is a professional athlete who represented Ireland in the modern pentathlon at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Firstly, don’t always expect to find any cheese. Hunky Dorys, another Largo brand, makes cheese and onion flavour crinkle cut crisps using potatoes and sunflower oil, but no cheese. Tayto was founded in 1954 in Dublin by a local man known as Joe 'Spud' Murphy, who is credited with having invented the world's first flavoured crisp. [10] Fry in batches (they will take longer if you overcrowd the pan), stirring as you first add them, until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and season lightly. Eat immediately, or allow to cool, then store in an airtight container (they should be good for 24 hours or so).

Coronation celebration hamper with Prosecco

In 2005, Tayto closed its crisp factory and Largo Foods won the contract for the manufacture of the whole range of Tayto products. The story continues in August, 2006, when Largo Foods acquired the Tayto and King brands from C&C plc for €62m. Chococo has created a new collection of ethical, handcrafted chocolate treats created exclusively for the King's Coronation. Renowned for his self-belief and persistence in pursuing projects to the end, Coyle also had a keen eye for marketing. He was behind some of Ireland’s most innovative promotions such as running Mr Tayto as a spoof candidate in the 2007 general election and publishing a best-selling biography of the crisp mascot. The use of women in suggestive poses to promote his Hunky Dory crisps fell foul of advertising standards, however, as did a claim to be the main sponsor of Irish rugby when the brand was a sponsor of Navan RFC at the time. After that, Coyle used the crisp brand to promote four Irish sportswomen — boxer Katie Taylor, athlete Derval O’Rourke, sailor Annalise Murphy and his daughter, Natalya Coyle, a pentathlete — in the London Olympics in 2012.

The Clintons have put their life savings into the crisp business, and say they haven’t had a day off in 3½ years, when this idea first started to take shape. The hand-cooked crisp market is growing in double digits each year, and if they can take just a small part of it they will have done what they set out to do – create a viable business that their children can one day take over, that will keep the family doing what they’ve done for generations – growing potatoes in Skerries. Selling out to a bigger company is not part of the grand plan. Since visiting the factory I’ve been doing non-stop taste tests on friends and family.

Once smooth, they travel up a conveyor belt and into a huge weighing scale that stops when it reaches the required weight. At the same time the rapeseed oil is heating in what looks like an ogre’s bath. Once it reaches the right temperature, the giant weighing scale starts spitting out potatoes, which go flying into a circular machine, cutting them into slices between 50-70 thousands of an inch, and spinning them out and into the oil below like tiny frisbees. In 2015 the Cu Chulainn roller coaster — Europe’s largest wooden roller coaster — was added at a cost of €12 million after being given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála following a two-year long planning battle. In 2017, Ireland’s largest flume ride, the Viking Voyage, became another addition to the park, whose sponsorship deal with the Tayto brand concludes at the end of the year.

What it tasted like

So, what about that salt? "We do need salt in our diet", explains Bouchier-Hayes, "and the amount of salt that we would need as adults is about four grams, but we generally take about six grams. It changes throughout life. For a one to three year old, it will be two grams of salt. It changes as we grow so for a four to six year olds, you need three grams of salt. For a seven to 10 year old, then maybe about five grams of salt per day.
