Oven Fries put Coconut Oil to the test

I found two brands of coconut oil in my local stores: Nutiva organic unrefined cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil and Spectrum expeller pressed organic coconut oil.
Spectrum says refined for medium high heat on the bottle. Nutiva is recommended for heat up to 350 degrees. I bought a jar of both to try. Both bottles have solid white oil in them. It actually looks a bit like what I remember the Crisco my mother used to use looked like.

Here is the test recipe:

Oven fries
3-4 yukon gold yellow potatoes cut into fry wedges
About two-three tablespoons of oil
Salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary to taste.
Place everything in an oven safe dish or pan. Toss the potatoes gently to fully coat with seasonings.
Place into the oven at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes until golden brown. Turn the potatoes over with a spatula once around the middle of the cooking time so they brown evenly.

I have previously made this simple recipe several times using other oils so I have some idea of what to expect.

I tried it with the Spectrum coconut oil first. These were great!! I think the coconut oil is a better recipe then any oil I previously tried! It doesn't leave any oil taste. You just taste the potatoes and whatever seasonings you have put on them. Yum!

I will have to try the Nutiva coconut oil next and will let you know the results. Since it says cook up to 350 degrees, the recipe will have to be modified slightly and may have a longer cooking time. But I'm sure it will taste delicious!
