Good question. It's not really clear in the recipe or the comments. I would probably add it to the butter when cooking the potatoes for the crust, but that's just me. Hoping the author sees this and responds.

So would I! (How did I miss that recipe? It looks so good.). Butter plus olive oil always equals deliciousness, especially when browning/cooking starchy foods like potatoes. ;o)

According to similar recipes, when you prepare the cast iron pan to take the potatoes (after they've been frozen and thawed)...step 4 when the butter is added (I would add both butter and olive oil).

Yes. The butter/oil combo is a common technique to raise the frying temperature and increase flavor.
