Burton's Potato Puffs

> > Burton's Potato Puffs

Potato Puffs were a sort of crisp manufactured by Burton Biscuits. The came in varieties of Ready Salted, Cheese and Onion and Salt and Vinegar. I'm sure that they have gone out of production now but who knows... if enough people remember them and still want them, there could be a Potato Puff revival! You have missed out the best one of all, tomato sauce flavour. Great taste and red fingers lol, ate them every day from 1959 to 1963.

      Yes I very much remember Potato Puffs when I was at school, they were my favourite, much better than traditional crisps. I recall the token on the packet too, though I only remember plain flavoured in the red bag. I don't know when they disappeared but I would really love them back as long they were made exactly as they were then and not tampered with in any way.

    I remember them fondly and were always available either in the tuck shop or corner shop on the way to school. The beef flavour were my favourites and wish they would bring them back.

    i remember potato puffs from my 1960's school days when they were on sale in the 'tuck shop'. We only had plain ones in a red packet. they were like blistered pieces of lightly salted potato with a buttery taste. Of course the shop also did well selling Burton's wagon wheels too and Macdonalds chocolate marshmallows.

      All of this is familiar to me - I loved potato puffs and wagon wheels - only remember plain potato puffs in a red bag - not really sure why they haven’t made them since - very finely puffed potato envelopes that quickly collapsed and disintegrated in your mouth following the initial crunch. I used my bus money to buy a Waggon Wheel - always worth the walk home - probably 5K in today’s terms and I was 6 when I realised I could make that swap

Do you remember these?
