That’s fair, it’s just that the context suggested otherwise.
I guess if he’s from northern England, and by “dinner” means the midday meal, then it makes sense. Otherwise there is no universe where baked potatoes are served for a fancy dinner. Roast potatoes are a part of a fancy dinner, though. The two cooking techniques are similar enough that I think it’s not unreasonable to assume, again given the context, that it’s just the wrong word.
Nah, I used to work at a country club that did black tie events and weddings, and baked potatoes did show up on the menu. If they wanted them even fancier, they could get the twice baked potatoes even.
I just assumed they meant “roast potatoes”.
I assumed they meant ‘baked potato’ because ‘baked potato’ is what they said.
Don’t go making wild assumptions like that without citing your sources
Losers online hate this one weird trick

Yeah some people just always want a baked potato with a steak.
Fair point, I retract my statement! The idea of using a baked potato as a side sounds bizarre to me, but if it’s a thing I guess it’s a thing.
