He explained that, BTW.
The first fry occurs where they cut the potatoes. Then then are frozen, for transport to the store, storage and because it makes the finshed fries crispier.
The second fry occurs at the restaurant.
They listed the ingredients in each of the frying oils, so some of them appear twice.

If you search for recipes for french fries, you will see that many, if not most, call for two separate frying steps.
