I want to make homemade french fries. Can olive oil be a substitute for vegetable oil?

I am out of vegetable oil, which I would use to put in the pan for grease, so I was wondering if I could use olive oil instead. If you know the answer, please answer this question.I want to make homemade french fries. Can olive oil be a substitute for vegetable oil?
I use olive oil all the time! Try putting the fries and oil in a ziplock bag with italion seasonings or lawry's salt or whatever you like. Shake it up the put on a baking sheet for healthy, good tasting seasoned fries!I want to make homemade french fries. Can olive oil be a substitute for vegetable oil?
You can do it. I think Olive oil is a bit to bold tasting for this.


Is it Extra virgin or is a lighter kind. If it is a lighter kind, it might be OK. If it is extra virgin, I wouldn;t do it.
No. In order to fry the french fries, you'll need to get the oil much hotter than olive oil can withstand without burning or smoking too much. You need to use a very clear oil like vegetable oil or canola oil.
Olive oil turns to poison when cooked. NEVER


Olive oil is to be consumed raw


Use sunflower oil for french fries. Its is a blessing


If you ran out of it, don't make fries
Yes olive oil will be just as good if not better (since its healthier)!

Sure, but I would make baked fries instead. They will be healthier and crispier. Just lay the fries on a baking sheet and drissle with olive oil. Bake in the oven :)
If you are cooking them in the oven, yes. Just toss them in the oil and season. If you care deep frying, no. Olive oil doesn't do well in extreme heat.
definintely.


It actually makes the fries more crispier and healthier.
Yeah, they should taste fine since olive oil goes well with potatoes (in my opinion) but the flavor will probably be REALLY strong.
Whoa! WAY to heavy and too low a smoke point for deep frying. You could however brush them with olive oil and grill them. The best thing for fries is peanut oil. That's the ';boardwalk'; style fries secret.
No don't. Olive oil has a much lower burning point than veg oil. You can't use olive oil to fry items. If all you have is olive oil, then thick-cut the potatoes- place on cookie sheet (use a foil layer too if you want)- then generously pour olive oil over it and add salt, pepper, and/or garlic powder. Crushed rosemary leaves is another good herb. Put in 375 oven for 40-50 mins. It won't be like french fries- but it's a good side dish. If you want fries like McDonalds- you definitely need veg oil.
You can not get your fries as crispy with olive oil because it burns before it is hot enough. If you don't mind that then, yes, it will cook them just fine. Just not as brown and crispy.

Pure Virgin Olive oil burns when heated too high.


Ordinary olive oil should be okay. Don't forget,it will have a taste to it
Try frying them in butter. Really good.
Yes! it is the finest of all the vegitable oils! you could also


try oven chips!
Olive Oil will Make your french fries Limp and gross tasting. Ive tried it. You can use Canola, Vegitable, or sunflower Oil.
I only use extra virgin olive oil, even for french fries. It doesn't heat up as quickly, but you will enjoy the same taste with added health benefits.
Yes! I use it....And season the fries.....Can I come over? Not really....But it is sssooooo good!
no, it doesn't have a high enough smoke point, it will burn. peanut oil is the best, but can be expensive. use canola or vegetable.
Yes. as long as you have the heat at the right temp it should work out fine.
