Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Is it possible to use olive oil in a deep fryer?),it will help you,my kids.

We're dieting here but really craving some French fries. My hubby suggested borrowing a deep fryer and using our own fresh potatoes cooked in olive oil for the occasional treat. Would that work?

Answers:
Olive oil has a low smoking point and is not recommended for deep frying. If you want make some french fries, try this: Cut up some Russet potatoes into wedges. Spray with olive oil and season with some salt. Preheat oven to 450. Place potatoes on a metal baking pan, cookie sheet will work, and bake until tender. Try preheating the tray before placing the potatoes, this will make for crispier potatoes.

Other Answers:
Yes, you can deep fry with olive oil, but it will give off a smell you probably won't be used to. It's not bad, olive oil just has a smell to it.

Olive oil has a tendency to burn in extreme heat,try peanut oil,it is excellent for deep frying.:) no, it has too low of a flash point and with smoke and burn

Olive oil is expensive.
Why don't you bake the potatoes instead of fry them? (I don't mean baked potatoes, I mean cut like fries and then baked instead)

yes..but might i suggest Peanut oil instead..it has No flavor..and will maintain the same temperature that olive oil will...and has all the same nutirents as olive oil does...and is cheaper

I just think its a waste of good olive oil.

Please..think Peanut oil.

Why not bake them w/ some seasoning on them with a little olive oil? Peanut oil has a high fat content. Try canola.

Well I wouldn't advise you to deep fry anything in Olive oil. Fry maybe, but not deep fry (that takes a lot of oil) and I say this simply b/c olive oil burns fast and the potatoes will soak up a lot of grease...it just wouldn't work!! Try cutting the potatoes and then baking them on a cookie sheet. That would seem to work better or just steam them in a little Olive oil and water. I can just picture a Huge Vat of grease (olive oil that is) burning up and smoking up the house (smoke alarms going off)....lol and the whole thing being a big mess on top of wasting (that's not he cheapest oil)!!! Anyway have fun and Good Luck!!!

Extra virgin has a tendency to burn. All grades will lose flavor when heated. Use Olive oil grade/ Watch the temperature, 410 F max. You could try canola oil.
