This recipe is all about the olive oil. You’ll drench salted, boiled potatoes in extra virgin olive oil and luxuriate in the deliciousness. It sounds like a lot of olive oil, and it is. That’s precisely the point. No need to break the bank in the olive oil department, but definitely seek out something that is “extra virgin” and “cold pressed” which will ensure the best flavor. Lucini and California Olive Ranch both make relatively affordable olive oils that taste great when used liberally as in this recipe
