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).
