Everybody agrees that the potato is the king of vegetables, and particularly in South Africa we love potatoes because they give us our favourite side dish: fries! 

At many restaurants or takeaways, a meal is expectedly served with a side of chips.  With many variations to prepare fried chips whether as slap chips, french fries, hand cut chips, loaded chips, coated chips; you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t enjoy their hot, deep-fried, salty, and crispy goodness.  In fact, research shows that it’s the first item nabbed from a plate or takeaway packet before one starts digging in. 

What makes fries irresistible is when they are cooked just right; right temperature, right seasoning, great taste and most certainly no unpleasant odours.  That, of course, all starts with good quality frying oil that can handle high deep frying heat, has a high smoke point, anti-foaming during frying and does not impart unpleasant odours on the food.

If you want to ensure that you give your customers a good experience every single time they bite into their first chip, you need to start with using the right quality deep frying oil.
