Frying wth olive oil

I would avoid olive oil (especially virgin) for roasting potatoes at a high temperature.
But eggs are cooked at a lower temperature so I still use it for that.

I read that a while ago, but tried other oil for potato wedges and didn't like it. And I love eggs fried in olive oil .

There are types of lighter olive oils that can be used for higher temps but I use other oils for this normally.

do not di!

I di use olive oil for high temperature cooking (and organic rapeseed oil) - just not the extra virgin oil which we keep for salad dressings or lower temperature cooking.

Isn't it a major part of the healthy Mediterranean diet? Or is that not in the context of cooking with it? I cook with it all the time - from recipes!

That was "me too" to riverwalk.

Me too - but I have been rapped over the knuckles!

Not usually because when heating olive oil the taste can change as well, and it has, I believe, a lower flashpoint.
I usually use rapeseed or a bland-tasting oil for frying and if using olive oil eg when cooking steak I rub the oil into the meat rather than pouring it into the pan.

Yes, I use nothing else!

And have done so for the past 40 years.
