For frying potatoes, it is recommended to use oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, corn oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. These oils have a higher tolerance to heat and won’t break down as quickly, making them ideal for frying.

Technically, no. Espresso is made by forcing pressurized water through finely ground coffee beans, while instant coffee is made by freeze-drying brewed coffee into a powder. The flavor and texture of an espresso made with instant coffee will not be the same as a true espresso made with freshly ground beans. However, it is possible to create a similar tasting coffee drink by using instant coffee and hot water to create a strong coffee, then adding milk and sugar to replicate the taste of an espresso-based drink.
