Isn't avocado oil really expensive? Price is also a factor in which ingredients I use. I also use peanut oil for deep frying because of its tolerance for high heat. Some people use vegetable oil, but I've always used the peanut oil. I keep telling myself that I'm going to get some beef tallow for some awesome french fries, but I haven't done it yet. Given the high amount of saturated fat, I have to be careful about how often I consume tallow (family history of heart disease). Next time I'm at the store I'll grab a bottle of avocado oil and give it a shot. Is it flavor-neutral? I'm not generally a fan of avocados.
