What's so fancy about a baked potato?
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?
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.
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.
