Potatoes get plenty of recognition and always have.

A nice, cold, peeled potato with salt and pepper on it is a suprisingly refreshing snack

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

It's just that many supposedly "fine dining" establishments phone it in with baked because they're easy and customers accept it.

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.

This is stupid. It gets plenty of recognition. Everyone loves potatoes. Makes alcohol too.

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).
