Can cocoa butter be used for frying potatoes? Are there any
non-conventional/non-dessert (food) uses in which cocoa butter is
employed? Can it be spread on toast as is done with the butter from
cows? How about drizzled over cooked vegetables?

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. It has such a low melting
temperature, that it might burn far too easily if you fry with it. As
for on toast or vegetables - I wouldn't know, since it doesn't taste
the same as butter.

I remember when I was very little, going into the fridge at a friend's
house and finding a box of cocoa butter packaged in bars, and taking one
out for a nice big bite of creamy rich chocolate...until...puh!
