Cape Cod Potato Chips

The Cape Cod Potato Chip Company started as a kettle-cooked snack food company located in a modest storefront factory on Main Street in Hyannis, Mass., more than 25 years ago. With secondhand equipment and rental trucks to haul potatoes from a farm in Maine, Cape Cod Potato Chips started to catch on throughout New England. The small company caught the eye of Eagle Snacks, then a division of Anheuser-Busch, who purchased the company in order to take the popular brand to the national level. Within 10 years, Cape Cod Potato Chips could be found in supermarkets and restaurants throughout the United States and Canada. Cape Cod Potato Chips introduced the classic chip in a reduced fat version. Its 40 percent reduced fat potato chips contain only select potatoes from regional potato farms, canola oil and salt. These chips are hand-cooked, and like its Classics style chip, in small batches and then flash baked to naturally reduce the fat. By combining its traditional hand-cooked process with flash baking, the company produces a potato chip with the same potato intensity as its Classics without sacrificing taste and ingredients. Cape Cod Potato Chip s corporate offices are still located in Hyannis, Mass.
