Potatoes deserve recognition
-
I assumed they meant 'baked potato' because 'baked potato' is what they said.
That's fair, it's just that the context suggested otherwise.
I guess if he's from northern England, and by "dinner" means the midday meal, then it makes sense. Otherwise there is no universe where baked potatoes are served for a fancy dinner. Roast potatoes are a part of a fancy dinner, though. The two cooking techniques are similar enough that I think it's not unreasonable to assume, again given the context, that it's just the wrong word.

potatoes are one of the few foods you can eat exclusively and survive for long periods of time
IF you also have milk or some other source of dairy.

Baked potatoes fancy? I love a baked potato with beans and cheese, but it's hardly fancy.
Fondant potatoes are what you want for fancy (and delicious).
I don't believe I've ever had fondant potatoes before. Went off to learn about them. They look delicious. Very similar to roast that we'd do in butter but I bet the rosemary gives a nice nom.
The recipe I saw calls for Russet. Not sure I've seen them for sale here either.

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

Nah, I used to work at a country club that did black tie events and weddings, and baked potatoes did show up on the menu. If they wanted them even fancier, they could get the twice baked potatoes even.

Midlife crisis/divorce/utter failure? Vodka.
Average evening at home? Vodka.

Fancy breakfast?
Is that kimchi?

Is there a country where potatoes are not eaten?
It's essentially an untapped vessel for world peace, if you think about it.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I don't think that's hyperbole either. It's a nutritionally complete food that's fairly easy to grow, to ship, and it holds up for a very long time without refrigeration.
The only place I've been lucky to visit where I didn't see potatoes was Costa Rica. Rice and black beans all day every day. Indians seem to like them very well. I don't know about other southeast Asian countries, China, or Japan but it seems unlikely they eat so much.

The most versitle food deserves recognition. I love potatoes so much. I had wonderful potatoes at breakfast over the weekend. And the best mashed potatoes (of my entire life) a few weekends ago. I'm pretty sure that other than eggs, potatoes are the most variable food I eat.

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.
Like fried rice or like actually cooking the raw rice in oil?

Yeah some people just always want a baked potato with a steak.

that would mean mashed potatoes is the ultimate food

Why is mash a holiday food? They're just mechanically pre-digested boiled potatoes.
mechanically pre-digested
I can't speak for your anatomy, but my digestion process doesn't add milk and butter.

This is stupid. It gets plenty of recognition. Everyone loves potatoes. Makes alcohol too.

Fair point, I retract my statement! The idea of using a baked potato as a side sounds bizarre to me, but if it's a thing I guess it's a thing.

Ah yes this is a good way.

Potatoes, some sort of boiled dough, and some sort of raw meat dish show up in basically every culture around the world
-

So do you fry the rice before cooking it in water like normal? I've done that with pasta and that was really good

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