OK, it probably depends on how much fat you get off the duck. If you have enough to do them 100% in duck fat, go for it, they'll be delicious. If you don't get enough, you'd have to mix the fat with another oil. which might screw you up. Duck fat has a smoke point (i.e. when the oil literally starts to burn and smoke) of 375 degrees. Canola oil has a smoke point of 400 degrees. In theory, you could mix them, but you'd have to keep the temp low enough that the duck fat doesn't burn--which means that your chips might absorb more of the canola oil. You'd probably be safe if you fried at 360 or so, just know that your chips might be a little heavier... Let me know if that makes sense. Honestly, I'd save the duck fat and use it to make hash browns, or something like that. :D Let me know what you do! Good luck! And congrats on starting to cook! It's totally so happymaking! :D +Jessie Hmm, gosh. OK, it probably depends on how much fat you get off the duck. If you have enough to do them 100% in duck fat, go for it, they’ll be delicious.

Making your duck tonight, and was wondering, can I fry my potato chips in canola oil with my saved duck fat from tonight? I haven't done much frying apart from shrimp, and wanted to know what your thoughts are on frying in duck fat. Cheers! Hey Jessie-
