We use vegetable oil (no Crisco!) in our cooking, but I do save the fat rendered from bacon for some types of cooking.
I have never had fries in lard, but supposedly if it is leaf lard, it does not have a porky flavor.
Recently, I read about fries in duck fat. Did not see duck fat mentioned in the above link.
