    Hey Big Willy, I got a great story for ya. One time I was changing the oil in my old '97 Chevy Cheyenne. It was somewhat windy that day but not too bad so I decided to proceed. As the used motor oil was draining and while I was still under the truck, a big gust of wind blew below the truck. It blew the stream of oil right at my face (my mouth was open at the time too), and a bunch of used motor oil got right in my mouth. It was a disgusting taste and I could not get it out of my mouth for the life of me. The oil just formed a thin film and would not go away. I ended up rinsing my mouth with Dawn and water (which was also disgusting, but hey), and it eventually got the oil out of there. 0/10, not recommend for french fries.

      I had a strange issue on an engine once where I pulled an injector to inspect and oil went down on the piston and my first instinct was to suck it out with a drinking straw then spit it in a bucket. After about the 3rd round I decided I'd rather have to wash the shop vac. -10/10 from me. At least Willy used fresh oil, I was expecting him to drain something first to get some.

If that wasn’t already bad enough, a wild Escalade parked with its oil pan directly over my face, then it spit it’s drain plug out and proceeded to pee in my mouth. Please stop spreading misinformation, luckily my uncle who happens to be a supervisor saw it all happen, which obviously proves I’m right (no you can’t talk to him, he’s very busy with his new job at one of Walmart’s overseas locations and our free time never overlaps because of the time zone difference in Pyongyang)

    I'm pretty sure the coconut oil you used is refined, meaning the coconuttiness has been removed by processing. That's why the coconut oil fried fries tasted like the regular ones. If you used unrefined coconut oil, it would definitely give the fries some coconutty notes.

Pressure fryers are definitely a thing, and are the only reason fast food fried chicken is possible. I had forgotten about that. Probably the same effect as high-g deep frying. Frying whole chicken parts with a normal fryer takes a really long time and is actually sort of difficult to do well. The areas near the bone in particular are hard to get to 165 degrees without overcooking the shit out of the rest of the piece. At an institutional scale, usually the chicken is partially fried, then finished in an oven. From my experience at least.

    McDonalds used to fry their fries in beef tallow, I would guess that tallow might be better to use than lard if you wanted the best fries. Lard = pork, tallow = beef. Pork always smells a bit weird to me.
    Also while not a chef I have worked in numerous kitchens and I find the thinner the fry, the better. Steak fries are just cut too thick and, yeah, I agree they aren't that good.
    Personally for the best fries you want to blanche, pat them down (also might have helped the oil not overflow since you took the fries straight out of water) and freeze them beforehand (and yeah some people would also say pre-fry them too). It also helps to have a way to maintain temperature and not have to use a flame like using a little home deep fryer might have yielded better more standard results as some of the batches the oil might have been too hot or cold. It's hard to fry in stuff like butter (looks like the heat was too low to avoid burning ? And it would have been a better idea to use ghee (clarified butter). Part 2 ?
