Potatoes deserve recognition
-
TIL in America, Baked Potato with a Steak is “fancy”, rather than “a Wednesday”.
I’d say the same about eg. Chicken “Kiev” with Potato Dauphinoise, standard ready meal gastropub fare.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]American, here - definitely not fancy, but it's a common side for a steak, so I assume that's where the association comes from.
I'd expect "fancy" potatoes to be something like fondant, hasselback, or a well-done scalloped (dauphinoise, boulangere, anna).

Or Hasselhoff. Yes, I know it’s “hasselback” but I refuse to change.
Served on a naked Hasselhoff, right?
Right?
-
The two preparations are quite similar aren't they?
Basically the same thing, except au gratin has cheese or some sort of bechamel
-
A big loaded potato is a pretty typical side for a nice steak and that definitely qualifies as fancy IMO.
Exactly!

Wanna get wasted? Vodka
Wanna just launch something as far as you can? Potato guneasy to smoke out of too

Not so much these days.

So much so that our immigrant population refers to Germans as "Kartoffeln" (potatoes)
Tbh, I hear that almost exclusively from native Germans, though that might be because I had an Irish sounding maiden name and people figured I’d be insulted by potato jokes. Weirdly, I don’t hear much teasing of Germans from immigrants. I do it, like the other day I left work in socks and crocs and pointed it out as a final step of my Eindeutschung to my coworkers, so not really cutting, but I still don’t hear even light teasing much from others. The most I see is loaded eye contact whenever something is really German. Things like unbelievable bureaucracy, or very precise engineering, or an absolutely terrifying thing that’s for some reason aimed at children.

easy to smoke out of too
dunno if that's healthy since raw potatoes are poisonous to eat. can't imagine them being good for you to smoke out of.
but hey, when in a pickle a potato would probably do -
I run starch, btw.
Fucki-, just, fucking fuck off.
Upvoted, obvs. But still.

A nice, cold, peeled potato with salt and pepper on it is a suprisingly refreshing snack

but hey, when in a pickle a potato would probably doonly if you eat, like, a dozen or more large potatos raw.
having the occasional raw potato wont hurt you, unless you are dumb and eat one thats solid green.

Irish famine.
Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion. -
I feel like we could have done better than 'baked potato' for a fancy dinner. Come on.
Pommes fondantes!
