Recreational even.
Wanna get wasted? Vodka Wanna just launch something as far as you can? Potato gun
The fact that we eat them on every occasion is recognition.
Does a sweet potato count?
An honorable mention for sure.
Something to play Doom on? Potato.
The ultimate goal of course is to install linux on an actual potato.
Quick photo to ask for help with a technical issue? Potato cam!
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.
Yep hunger does some wild things to people
Living that potathoe lifestyle
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).

The classic Irishman’s dilemma: do I eat this potatoe today, or ferment it so I can drink it tomorrow?
Can’t you just ferment the peels or something? I’m hungry AND thirsty!
baked potato is fancy? wow
Well hey we’re not all Thurston Howell III, only eating julienned potatoes cooked in virgin avocado oil.
I think if there are chives garnished on it then it looks fancy.
I mean baked potato is as fancy as the toppings you put on it yeah but after a while it stops being baked potato
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.
Exactly!
yeah they should’ve gone with pommes fondant
nice TIL about these, will definitely try
Who the fuck only eats mashed taters on christmas
This is stupid. It gets plenty of recognition. Everyone loves potatoes. Makes alcohol too.
Found the Irishman.
More likely a Russian. Sounds like he’s making vodka.
Sorry, I’m actually Japanese-Canadian. We make some potato shochu in the northern part of Japan. They’re not bad, but I prefer the sweet potato kind.
So, more like Polish. Russia loves to try to steal the claim to vodka.
Saved that astronaut guy stranded on Mars.
Mark Watney probably never ate another potato after that though. I know I wouldn’t.
Need something to run Linux on? Potato
I run starch, btw.
