The My Dad’s Chips® story originates in the great state of Maryland, where Gary Edell used to make potato chips in his family’s kitchen. When his kids went away to college, Gary would send them care packages filled with his signature thin sliced, kettle cooked russet potato chips to share with their friends. Whenever people asked “where did you get these chips?” the response was always, “they’re My Dad’s Chips!” and the rest is history.
