Potatoes deserve recognition

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!

Recreational even.
Wanna get wasted? Vodka
Wanna just launch something as far as you can? Potato gun -
Average evening at home? Vodka.
Average evening at home?
That’s what I said.

Saved that astronaut guy stranded on Mars.
Mark Watney probably never ate another potato after that though. I know I wouldn’t.

Does a sweet potato count?

An honorable mention for sure.

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.

no, bad Apple

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!

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
