    God bless the people of the Andean Plateau, who looked at a moderately poisonous tuber that can freaking kill you, and said, "Eh, it's fine, just don't eat too many of 'em."

    A few thousand years of selective breeding and hard work later, we have one of the most important crops in the world.

      A loaded baked potato (butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, salt/pepper) is usually a side dish when we have "special" meals like holidays or anniversaries or whatever and I think that's what OP was goin for?

      A big loaded potato is a pretty typical side for a nice steak and that definitely qualifies as fancy IMO.

          Hard agree. I'd eat a lot of potatoes as an actual potato and the only one I'd generally not be arsed with is baked. Roast absolutely crushes them. Nice mash too. Chips? Easy win. Bit of gratin with a nice meal? Yes please. Potato salad for lunch? Better than baked son and you'd better believe it.

          Come to think of it, I honestly cannot think of a variety I'd place below baked on the yummy spud scale.

          Baked potato salad is pretty good though.

            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.

                      More likely a Russian. Sounds like he's making vodka.

                      So, more like Polish. Russia loves to try to steal the claim to vodka.

                            So much so that our immigrant population refers to Germans as "Kartoffeln" (potatoes)

                                The ultimate goal of course is to install linux on an actual potato.

                                    The fact that we eat them on every occasion is recognition.

                                      Looks like salsa. That's a more common potato topping. Although I suppose that kimchee would be good, too. I've never tried it.

                                        Salt, too. Try having potatoes without salt. Blech!

                                          Or soy.

                                          Want protein? Soy.

                                          Want milk? Soy.

                                          Okay, but how about a flavorful sauce to put on your food? Believe it or not, soy.
