I feel like we could have done better than 'baked potato' for a fancy dinner. Come on.
Potatoes au gratin
Or dauphinois
The two preparations are quite similar aren't they?
Firstly, how dare you! Uncultured swine.
Secondly, yes. They're very similar indeed.
"If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike"
Or Hasselhoff. Yes, I know it’s “hasselback” but I refuse to change.
Served on a naked Hasselhoff, right?
Right?
Not so much these days.
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.
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.
Baked potato salad is pretty good though.
I have never heard of that but I'm open to the experience.
It's just that many supposedly "fine dining" establishments phone it in with baked because they're easy and customers accept it.
Funeral potatoes?
