Back in the 50s, fast food joints like McD used to cook their french fries with lard. Now they use vegetable oil. They tasted a helluva lot better with lard.

A couple of years ago I made fried potatoes as a side when my sisters and husbands came for supper. My older sister remarked that they tasted just like mom’s even down to the crispy edges. I told her that’s because just like mom I cooked them in lard and finished them off with a little butter to brown them.
Everything tastes better when you use real foods. My mom and aunt always cooled with lard, butter, bacon grease and used whole milk. They lived to be 93 and 97 respectively.
