Is there a country where potatoes are not eaten?

It's essentially an untapped vessel for world peace, if you think about it.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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 🤷

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

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

What's so fancy about a baked potato?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

Note the quotes.

Baked potatoes are what you get from a food truck.

Are people meaning roast potatoes?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

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.

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).
