    I can't think of anything I cook w/o Olive oil! Only exception is in the fryer, all other dishes are made w/ it otherwise.

    I take olive oil and drizzle it over fresh potatoes that I have julianned and then I sprinkle fresh Italian herbs and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and then bake in the oven. The potatoes get this nice glaze and delicious taste.
