Potatoes get plenty of recognition and always have.
Irish famine. Edit: there is not a potato for every occasion.
A nice, cold, peeled potato with salt and pepper on it is a suprisingly refreshing snack
hell yes i love cold potato
Does a sweet potato count?
An honorable mention for sure.
Recreational even.
Wanna get wasted? Vodka Wanna just launch something as far as you can? Potato gun
easy to smoke out of too
dunno if that’s healthy since raw potatoes are poisonous to eat. can’t imagine them being good for you to smoke out of. but hey, when in a pickle a potato would probably do
The fact that we eat them on every occasion is recognition.
Quick photo to ask for help with a technical issue? Potato cam!
Something to play Doom on? Potato.
The ultimate goal of course is to install linux on an actual potato.
Living that potathoe lifestyle
Who the fuck only eats mashed taters on christmas
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).

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.
Yep hunger does some wild things to people
