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

        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.

          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.

                Cheese, bacon, chives and (sometimes) sour cream in your potato salad. I’m into it.

          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

          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.

            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.

      I think if there are chives garnished on it then it looks fancy.

      A loaded baked potato (butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, salt/pepper) is usually a side dish when we have “special” meals like holidays or anniversaries or whatever and I think that’s what OP was goin for?

        A big loaded potato is a pretty typical side for a nice steak and that definitely qualifies as fancy IMO.

        Looks like salsa. That’s a more common potato topping. Although I suppose that kimchee would be good, too. I’ve never tried it.

      Mark Watney probably never ate another potato after that though. I know I wouldn’t.

    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.

        Any floury potato will do. In England we would probably use Maris Piper potatoes.
