Can I substitute butter in this recipe?
I’ve found that this recipe uses olive oil for richness. While butter is not an ingredient, you could substitute it for the olive oil for a different flavor profile. Butter would lend a richer, more dairy-like taste compared to the fruity notes of olive oil.

This recipe does not require chilling before serving; the potatoes are meant to be enjoyed warm immediately after cooking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for later.
