OK for the sake of peace and to help people to avoid too much frenetic typing I will happily accept that a baked potato is absolutely fine, as long as you cook it properly, ie bake it, then scrape out all the revolting inside of the potato and throw it away, then substitute it for something nice, then eat the nice stuff whilst being careful to avoid the horrible crinkly potato skin.

again, would like to point out that it requires the addition of two other cooked/highly processed ingredients to even be remotely enjoyable

A hipster potato restaurant opened up in Clerkenwell:

It closed down three months later.

good.

well yeah, you don’t eat pasta by itself do you? and it’s not remotely enjoyable, it’s a joy

at what point after mashing the potato do you realise its not a baked potato anymore…?

we’re not talking about pasta, we’re talking about potatoes. and, as a standalone item, jackets are clearly the worst type.

I can’t believe you’re all continuing with this.

Some absolutely terrible opinions expressed in here already. All potatoes are wonderful. Please don’t conflate your or your families terrible cooking with the quality of potato type.
