Vandy Crisps Potato Chips - Vegetable & Seed Oil Free Snacks - Gluten Free Potato Chip - Healthy Chips Made with Potatoes, Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, and Sea Salt - 2 Pack, 5 Ounce Each (Original)

These are tasty! I’m familiar with foods cooked in tallow, so I knew they would be the thicker style of chip. I like potatoes, so it’s not a problem to have potato in my potato chip! They are lightly salted. Do I wish they had a lower price? Yes, I do! HOWEVER, the truth is that it costs money to grow and process food without chemicals that will make me, or even worse, make my children sick. And it costs money to pay people living wages. We are just so used to food being cheap but crappy. I can afford a bag of these occasionally as a nice treat. And I appreciate that food and business minded folks are making foods without seed oils; not only are they also bad for one’s health in the quantity we consume, but some of us are allergic to them! So Thank You for making these. You are doing a nice thing!

I agree with the bad reviews. In the first bag there were a mix of slightly overcooked and less cooked chips I didn't mind the variety and I do like a good dark chip now and then. My complaint was that the potatos used were not fresh tasting and had a rather meally texture that was caused by the heaviness of the lard used to cook them together with the thichness of the chips which resulted in the chips being oversaturated with the lard which at room temperature becomes too dense. Chips need to be crisp, light and the potatos have to have a fresh flavor! The price makes it a total deal breaker. I will not reorder!

I was really curious to try these chips after hearing about the simple ingredients and tallow cooking method. I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant at first because I saw some mixed reviews mentioning stale chips, but I’m happy to say that wasn’t my experience at all. The bags I received were fresh, nicely sealed, and the chips were super crisp! The flavor is rich and savory thanks to the beef tallow - it gives the chips a more satisfying, almost hearty taste compared to regular seed oil chips. They’re thicker than a Lay’s chip, but not quite as thick as Ruffles, and have a really enjoyable crunch. If you’re looking for a cleaner snack with no weird oils or additives, these are worth trying.

I have read other customers rant and rave about these chips, do I decided to order them. They have only 3 ingredients, one of them being 'Beef Tallow", which is basically beef fat, I would assume. Anyway, these chips are nice and crisp, BUT, you can definitely taste the tallow, which I am NOT a fan of, thus the 2 stars. Some people may love these and love the tallow taste, but I am not one of them. I would NOT order again, in fact, I am trying to find someone to give the second bag to. Not every food product you see advertised as great is great. Just saying.

Very yummy! Would love to try the other flavors. Would buy again.

These were bland in taste They were fried at to low a temperature and absorbed the beef tallow and were not crispy . Do they were beef tallow favored Not worth the money

I have been consuming a major brand of potato chips for some time. Recently, I have become aware that seed oils commonly used in consumable products may be injurious to one's health. It has been stated that they contain Omega 6 fatty acids which some studies suggest can contribute to inflammation and may worsen symptoms in inflammatory conditions like arthritis. The product I had been consuming contains a combination of canola oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil. One reviewer stated that the Vandy potato chips tasted "greasy." I did not find this to be the case whatsoever. Another stated that the bag had broken pieces of chips inside so they threw it out, are you kidding me? What a soft generation of people. I appreciate the fact that the Vandy chips only use 3 ingredients. I found them to be uniquely and wonderfully flavorful and I will be ordering more.

Chips were disgusting. Oversalted and BURNED. Like old grease tasting. What a waste of money. Threw them out
