Potatoes get plenty of recognition and always have.

Irish famine. Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion.

A nice, cold, peeled potato with salt and pepper on it is a suprisingly refreshing snack

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

only if you eat, like, a dozen or more large potatos raw.

having the occasional raw potato wont hurt you, unless you are dumb and eat one thats solid green.

The fact that we eat them on every occasion is recognition.

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).

God bless the people of the Andean Plateau, who looked at a moderately poisonous tuber that can freaking kill you, and said, "Eh, it's fine, just don't eat too many of 'em."

A few thousand years of selective breeding and hard work later, we have one of the most important crops in the world.
