Why the cost comment... butter ain't cheap ya know, butter can easily
cost as much if not more than decent extra virgin olive oil. A pound
of butter equals 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of olive oil.

And I wouldn't use EVOO to roast potatoes anyway, why pay a premium for
olive oil because it was not exposed to heat and then roast it, at
425?F yet! duh When I want the flavor of EVOO on my roast potatoes I
drizzle some on *after* roasting. It's very, very stupid to heat
quality olive oil... just as dumb as putting on perfume and then
bathing... oh.
