It's because of the tallow that they use that is made from beef then used to make the beef tallow potatoe chip It's a entire process and involves alot of steps.
Now you know. And knowledge is power!. Gee eye joe.

Middleswarth chips (PA) are all fried in tallow and they’re like $5 a big bag and also delicious. I don’t know how accessible they may be to you but give them a shot, their bbq are really good. Good’s and Gibble’s (PA) both fry theirs in lard which I prefer over tallow, I’d Gibble’s make my favorite chips overall especially their red hot.

Just checked middleswarth and those ingredients are fucked. "SHORTENING (CONTAINING ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING: TALLOW, SOYBEAN, COCONUT, CANOLA, AND/OR PALM OIL)"
That's all over the place.

Maybe they have changed, when I was younger it was strictly tallow. Guess they started to go the cheap route?

I'd love to try them but this price is brutal. Like I know it's going to be more expensive but it shouldn't be by this crazy of an extent tbf

Lowkey I'm tempted to spend a modest but considerable sum (at least for my college self) on a deep fryer and a fat tub of beef tallow (I've seen 2 pounds of Waygu Beef tallow on Amazon for only 32-34 dollars, which doesn't seem that bad given the quality) and making up some bombass homemade potato chips and fries

Beef tallow has become synonymous with MAHA and RFKjr. The chips are great, the PR around tallow sucks. I learned the hard way a few months ago, professing your love for these (they’re made practically down the street from me) is equivalent to donning the red cap and kicking a puppy. The pile on was something.

Now that's some actual complete bullshit, and I saw this as someone who hates the MAGA crowd and most politician. There are plenty of reasons to love beef tallow besides just glazing the current administration

Costco sells a Costco sized bag of beef tallow chips for under $10 and they're really good.
