## Story

Never had Potato Olés? These little slices of heaven are round bites of crunchy potato, cooked fresh and sprinkled with a signature blend of bold spices. Try dipping ‘em in nacho cheese, sour cream, guacamole or salsa. They won’t break off like tortilla chips.

“At Taco John’s, we solved this irritating problem with tortilla chips decades ago with the creation of our Potato Olés,” said Vice President for Marketing Alan Wright. “National Tortilla Chip Day is our time to tell the world: save your wimpy chips for another day because our Potato Olés are sure to take care of all your dipping needs. You heard it here first: Potato Olés are chips of the future.”

This celebratory special is available from open to close at participating Taco John’s locations nationwide only on Feb. 24, so mark your calendar to Olé The Day!
