I think the best fries are fried first at 325F to cook them through then
briefly again at 375F. For the lower temperature you want one that will
not impart flavor just heat. Peanut, cottonseed, soy, corn, you name
it. For the higher temperature you want one with a higher smoke point
and imparting heat is a nice feature. Disck fat or cottonseed oil.
