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.
