I did not think they were being made, but two companies still fry
potatoes in lard.
Last Friday, we visited the Utz company store and the factory to see
the chips made. They still have a line of lard fried chips. If you
ever get to Hanover PA (near Gettysburg) it is worth a stop at Utz.
Saturday, we went to my old home town of Philadelphia and played tour
guide to the other couple that was on the trip with us. We had lunch
at Reading Terminal Market. I bought a pot roast sandwich from
Smuckers and it came with a bag of Ralph Good chips that were fried in
lard. Good chips those Goods chips.

even checked. I only bought them because I was told they were the best but
I am not much of a chip lover so they didn't taste any better to me.

I used to buy the Cape Cod dark russet which are also fried in lard but
I think they were bought out by some mega outfit.

I think they all were at one time. One of the best were Wise chips in
PA. They fried all of the potatoes that they cut so there was a
distribution of small pieces that were nicely browned.

People in this area enjoy Zapp's Chips, but Mr. Zappe died in Houston a
couple of years ago, and Utz bought Zapp's which could be why we are
getting Utz' products in this area. Zapp's is cooked in peanut oil, but
who knows, things change.

IOW, pig fat and two plant oils. How is that "other"?

tasted slightly burnt to me. Because of that I haven't had them in over 40
years now, so that problem might have been solved long ago. :o

Not familiar with Wise. Hubby likes potato chips and buys them often.
He buys no salt, low salt and often they are baked (to reduce the fat
content). The problem with no salt chips is that there's nothing to
cover up the taste of the oil they were fried in and I think that
baked, no salt, chips are just plain bland. That's my opinion, not
his. The one he likes best at the moment is Trader Joe's Olive Oil
chips. I like them too, but I'm not a big potato chip lover like he
is so I don't love them (but I do like TJ's OO chips).

pizza that have good browning and even a little char.
I don't buy much in the way of chips. Wise lost its way and was absorbed
into some mega company and maybe a few years ago bought by an investment
group.

from that.
