    It's the low-labor, hard-to-fuck up way to make potatoes that so many "fine dining" places default to.

    Note the quotes.

      Alcohol? Vodka! Starch to make bread? Potato starch! 2 potatoes? 1 potato in the ground!

        I feel like we could have done better than 'baked potato' for a fancy dinner. Come on.

        It's just that many supposedly "fine dining" establishments phone it in with baked because they're easy and customers accept it.

            Baked potatoes are what you get from a food truck.

            Are people meaning roast potatoes?

              potatoes are one of the few foods you can eat exclusively and survive for long periods of time

                I just assumed they meant "roast potatoes".

                  Firstly, how dare you! Uncultured swine.

                  Secondly, yes. They're very similar indeed.

                    Why is mash a holiday food? They're just mechanically pre-digested boiled potatoes.

                        Yeah baked potato is just a solid lunch choice usually

                        Potatoes dauphinoise would have fit better

                        Unpopular opinion: not even that, really. The baked potato is by far the most overrated potato.

                        It's not very good by the standards of food in general. Which of course makes it quite bad by the lofty standards of potatoes.

                              Same with Denmark and afaik the rest of Scandinavia.

                              Set in their ways old (70+) Danish people tend to refuse to eat anything for dinner that doesn't involve potatoes with a thick gravy and some kind of meat, preferably pork πŸ˜„

                                au gratin, dauphinoise, tartiflette all sound like good alternatives

                                  Probably because OP makes things extra yummy on holidays and boiled potatoes are made approximately 700% yummier by being "mechanically pre-digested" as you call it.

                                  That's just how the science of potato magic works 🀷
