What's the best oil for French Fries? I'm guessing the healthiest ones
aren't the best tasting, but at the moment I have no idea what's healthy OR
good tasting oil, so any input is appreciated.

"Best" is kind of subjective, but the lowest calorie oil would be mineral
oil. It also does not get rancid, so you could filter and reuse it over
and over. HTH :-)

You're frying, so peanut, canola or corn oil is good. You
want something with a high smoke point and very little
flavor to impart.


Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Surely you're not serious. The OP would probably shit himself to death!

When I was a teen there was a small local restaurant that had the most
remarkable tasting French Fries. When asked how they made them, we learned
that they used peanut oil and changed the oil in their fryers daily.

I wonder if you can still find beef tallow. That's what McD's used to
use, and why the fries tasted so damned good. Now you get cardboard
tasting fries. Ick!

I use canola oil and it works well. I do not reuse or recycle the oil.

I make fries so infrequently these days...But when I made them more often I
used a mix of canola and lard. The gourmet fries lovers (my kids and their
friends) liked them better than McD's. But it's been a while.

Did you cut your own potatoes or use frozen ones?
