Perhaps the bacon grease? Kenny was telling me the other day how to cook scallops, and one thing he said was to clarify the butter so it would get hot enough to properly sear the outside of the scallop. So, perhaps butter would not get hot enough for the fries? I know precious little about frying things, so I am not very much help at all... My mom sent me the lard from an organic farm somewhere in Pennsylvania. They ship things overnight in ice. There are probably some great farms in Florida that would provide non-hydrogenated lard, if you feel like trying it out! Hmm, I’m not sure! Perhaps the bacon grease?

I'm not against lard, I just don't have any. Do you think the same effect could be reach with butter or possibly saved bacon grease? Those french fries do sound amazing!

I like to think that, at some point, I will have a relationship that will feel timeless.

Foods fried it in actually absorb less fat than foods fried in other oils. Check it out: http://www.slate.com/id/2219314/ Besides, the lard I used was non-hydrogenated and organic. I'd trust it any day over whatever McDonald's fries their foods in. :) Not that I don't love McDonald's fries... Oh, and Kirsten, lard has gotten a bad rap!
