Trader Joe's Garlic Butter Irish Potato Chips - 5.5 oz

These chips are made in Ireland and imported to the US — seasoned, as the bag puts it, with rich Irish butter 'churned in the green rolling hills of County Cork' and bold garlic. The butter's creamy richness hits first; the garlic stays polite, arriving on the finish and lingering just enough to send your hand back to the bag. A touch of mushroom extract adds a quiet layer of umami that sets these apart from ordinary butter-flavored snacks.

The sturdy ridge cut gives a proper crunch and resists crumbling — a chip that travels well. At US launch, the in-store sampling team jokingly warned shoppers these were 'kind of addictive,' and the reviews have agreed ever since.

• With beer or whiskey — butter and garlic hold their own against a serious drink.
• Fish-and-chips style — serve alongside fried fish for the full Irish mood.
• Next to a sandwich — the ridge cut stays crunchy to the last bite.
• Crushed over soup — instant garlic-crouton effect on creamy soups.
• On a cheese board — sharp cheddar doubles down on the richness.

This one's a good fit if

• You love butter-forward snacks
• Garlic bread flavor? You are already sold
• You enjoy the European snack sensibility
• You prefer a sturdy, thick-cut chip

Irish-made potato chips are vanishingly rare on Korean shelves — even import corners skew British and German. A chip built on Irish butter is a genuine discovery item, and for the garlic-loving Korean palate, 'garlic butter' needs no further pitch.

It's produced in Ireland exclusively for Trader Joe's, so outside of US direct import there's effectively no way to get it.

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

All orders are processed as personal-use overseas purchases, which means they clear Korean customs without requiring KC certification. Shipments are handled using your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) for full transparency, and you can track your parcel through the Korea Customs Service UNI-PASS portal at any time.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Yes. Every item is purchased directly from Trader Joe's stores in the US, inspected, and then shipped — 100% authentic.

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.
