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 feel like we could have done better than ‘baked potato’ for a fancy dinner. Come on.
Potatoes au gratin
Or dauphinois
Or Hasselhoff. Yes, I know it’s “hasselback” but I refuse to change.
Served on a naked Hasselhoff, right?
Right?
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”
Basically the same thing, except au gratin has cheese or some sort of bechamel
Yeah baked potato is just a solid lunch choice usually
Potatoes dauphinoise would have fit better
It’s just that many supposedly “fine dining” establishments phone it in with baked because they’re easy and customers accept it.
au gratin, dauphinoise, tartiflette all sound like good alternatives
Well, hon hon hon.
You guys ever tried the Cheese Bomb Tater Kegs they sell warm near the Walmart checkout?
Like a TWICE baked potato.
Okay, let’s not go too far.
Loaded baked twice.
I just assumed they meant “roast potatoes”.
I assumed they meant ‘baked potato’ because ‘baked potato’ is what they said.
Don’t go making wild assumptions like that without citing your sources
Losers online hate this one weird trick

Pommes fondantes!
