Just because so many people talk about olive oil doesn't mean you have
to use it, or like it for that matter. I don't use a lot of olive oil
when I cook. Sure, I keep a bottle on hand. I think I drizzled a
baking sheet with it when I baked some Crash Hot Potatoes.

I seriously doubt the type of oil matters much in that dish.)

Still, I'm glad you found an inexpensive brand you like.
