Rapeseed oil

I was watching something the other day (Market Kitchen?) and he used rapeseed oil (lashings of it) as a sub for butter when making mash. Now he was using sweet potato instead of a load of king edwards, but I assume the idea is the same. I make mash sparingly and don't use butter for much else, so I've ended up throwing…
