        I assumed they meant 'baked potato' because 'baked potato' is what they said.

        Don't go making wild assumptions like that without citing your sources

          Both of those look delicious.

          Person in OP is probably from the US. Many restaurants when you order a steak, you also get a potato that’s been in the oven and cut into half way, with a bit of butter or sour cream placed inside of its open potato slit.

          Ok. That is what we'd call a Baked or Jacket Potato.

          However, over here, jacket potatoes are more of a "stack it high with toppings" food on-the-go thing. We love them, but don't see them as fancy.

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

                  When I visited danish relatives they often made flæskesteg (a kind of roast pork, originally a christmas dish) and you can also get flæskesteg burgers and so on. That's what I think of when someone says danish pork.

                    baked potato is just a solid lunch choice

                    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.

                    I'm curious, what toppings are you using?

                    I unironically rate a baked potato mid-to-high tier for potato. You've gotta make sure you cook it so the inside is fluffy and the skin starts to get crispy, then I always add a bit of butter, salt & pepper before the toppings

                          Firstly, how dare you! Uncultured swine.

                          Secondly, yes. They're very similar indeed.

                              Rice cooked in oil, for the love of god, rice cooked in oil.

                              Yes I know Japan does it different. Yes I know they have dedicated cookers to make it fluff. No Japan does not have a monopoly on how to cook rice.

                                I thought that read potataoism and was expecting spiritual memes about potatoes. I don't know what to think anymore

                                    Oh hundreds if not thousands of ways!

                                    There's the flæskesteg the other reply mentioned

                                    There's the official national dish Stegt flæsk

                                    There's frikadeller

                                    There's Karbonader

                                    And many, many more 😁

                                    All delicious, but proceed with caution if you're trying to limit cholesterol, fat, carbs, or calories as old fashioned Danish food tends to contain all of those in spades 😄

                                      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.
