Celebrate National Potato Day with ROYCE’ Potatochip Chocolates

Every year on August 19, we honor the humble spud—one of the world’s most versatile and beloved ingredients—with National Potato Day. Whether it’s mashed, fried, baked, or chip-crisped, the potato has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine.

This year, why not take that celebration to the next level? Step away from the usual fries and baked potatoes, and treat your taste buds to the luxurious, delightful fusion of sweet and salty: ROYCE’ Potatochip Chocolates.
