I've only just noticed this thread - so here goes.
Firstly - I never knew you could cook chips in lard. My preference is a good beef dripping.
Potatoes wise - for me it has got to be Long Irish Whites - when cooked as chips the insides are beautifully fluffy.
Steak wise - a well marbled rib-eye steak from a hereford steer. Cooked rare enough so that a good vet could bring it round! lol !

Chip frying....
We have a cooker that uses very little oil. The chip is at an angle and rotates so dips the chips in the tiny amout of oil. But I don't think we (she) has used it in over a year.

We do have chips once in a while but usually they are oven chips these days.

Steak..........a good Aberdeen Angus fillet.

I don't fry them but bake them instead.

My mother who was a Yorkshire woman always used lard to cook chips. Absolutely delicious!

I don't know why I don't because every year I'm given around 2 kgs of home rendered lard from our village pig farm which I mainly use for making the pastry for steak and kidney pie or homemade pork pies!
Its many years since I ate home cooked chips, but lard all the way!! There is only one way to deep dry chips and that is in lard ... delicious but absolutely lethal ... mmmm

Gordon you have my mouth simply dripping with saliva!! Your description of a blue Hereford rib eye is EXACTLY perfect. As for chips cooked in dripping, what an amazing idea - never tried that, but I sure would like to!
