Tayto Skips Prawn Cocktail snacks

Tayto Skips are a popular snack known for their unique melting texture and light Prawn Cocktail seasoning. This specific brand variant is associated with Tayto Ireland, a cornerstone of the Irish snack industry founded in 1954 by Joe 'Spud' Murphy. Murphy is widely credited with inventing the world's first seasoned potato crisps, starting with Cheese & Onion flavour.

While Skips were originally launched in the UK by KP Snacks in 1974, Tayto holds the exclusive rights to the brand name for the Irish market. Today, Tayto (Republic of Ireland) is part of Tayto Snacks, which operates as a subsidiary of the Intersnack Group. Production primarily takes place at the Tayto production facility in Ashbourne, County Meath, Ireland, ensuring the brand remains an Irish household staple.
