Great Lakes Chips

  • Original Sea Salt

    Named the #1 Potato Chip by the Chicago Tribune! Building a better chip takes dedication. At the Great Lakes Potato Chip Co., we begin with the highest quality Michigan potatoes, grown especially for potato chip making. We slice them thick and leave the skin-on for a bolder flavor. Our potato chips are cooked in 100% non-GMO sunflower and/or canola oil in small batches, making a great-tasting chip with no trans fats and no cholesterol. Finally, each chip is seasoned with pure sea salt and sent on its journey to you.

    $2.00
  • BBQ

    We took the glory of a Michigan summer and put it in a bag. These full-flavored Barbeque potato chips start the same as our Original flavor with hearty, skin-on potato slices. Our seasoning is tangy, somewhat smoky and not too sweet or biting. The result is a flavor that takes you to warm days on the lake, burgers on the grill and family and friends gathered around – no matter what the season.
