Default Re: What's the best oil?

Butter is my first choice for patacones (mashed fried verdes) and dessert fry.

In the absence of butter, if I want something with a smooth flavour I like peanut, for a slightly stronger flavour Extra Virgen Olive, and for a really unique side-dish, Avocado oil.

I've also done a butter/sweet almond oil blend for fried dessert bananas, and I add essential oils of cinnamon or ishpingo or cloves to olive oil or butter for dessert fry as well.
