    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.

            The classic Irishman's dilemma: do I eat this potatoe today, or ferment it so I can drink it tomorrow?

            Can't you just ferment the peels or something? I'm hungry AND thirsty!

                  Mark Watney probably never ate another potato after that though. I know I wouldn’t.

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

                        Sorry, I'm actually Japanese-Canadian. We make some potato shochu in the northern part of Japan. They're not bad, but I prefer the sweet potato kind.

                          I have never heard of that but I'm open to the experience.

                          Cheese, bacon, chives and (sometimes) sour cream in your potato salad. I’m into it.

                              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.

                              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.

                                  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.
