The Kerrygold Crisp Sandwich: A Simple Irish Classic Going Global this St. Patrick’s Day
The crisp sandwich is a beloved staple of Irish culture, a humble delicacy often enjoyed at home or on the go, and for many chefs, it’s the perfect midnight snack after a long day. At its heart, it’s a celebration of three simple ingredients: soft white bread, cheese and onion potato crisps, and generous layers of rich, golden Kerrygold butter. It’s a beloved secret among Irish locals and A-list celebrities alike, and Kerrygold is on a mission to share this tasteful joy with the world.
To help share this treasured piece of Irish culture, Kerrygold, in collaboration with award-winning Irish actress and “Stranger Things” star Amybeth McNulty, presents “Made the Irish Way” global campaign, alongside the Kerrygold Crisp Sandwich. For McNulty, a crisp sandwich transports her back to the comfort and familiarity of her hometown. Together, Kerrygold and McNulty are inviting the world to share a Kerrygold Crisp Sandwich to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, whether at a pop up in major cities across the globe, or from the comfort of their own homes, to truly understand its growing status as a cultural phenomenon. Kerrygold’s “Made the Irish Way” campaign launches across the United States, Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and beyond through social, digital, PR, and retail channels throughout March 2026.
