You take that back, you hussy. Yams are a noble tuber.

As a kid, I really hated boiled potatoes and wasn't too fond of most kinds of potato recipes.
I'm still not too fond of boring old boiled potatoes, but any kind of grilled, fried, whatever potato is neat.

The best way to eat potatoes: Boil some potatoes really good. Leave the skin on, wrap them in tin foil, then put them on the grill. When they've gained some colour, cut them open and eat with garlic butter inside. It's really good!

Why not just bake the potato?

Because it tastes differently. I'm not a cook, so I don't know why. I've had both kinds plenty of times and it's not quite the same. If you baked potatoes with the skin on, maybe it would be close.

Frownland

..............why the hell would you bake a whole potato without the skin? I expected the Danish to be on top of this kind of thing.

I did wonder if that was gonna be a thing. I've only had them baked without skin. Maybe that's just the variant I've had, or maybe it's just the way all Danes do it? I couldn't say.

I also edited the comment above before I saw your reply, which is a stupid thing to do, so I cut it again and will put it here:

I guess part of the point is that when you go fetch your foil-wrapped potato off the grill it is searing hot and the butter will melt. While if you serve baked potatoes in a tray, they'll lose heat pretty soon. Tin foil wrapped potatoes can just stay on the grill while you eat and you can go get one at a time. I guess that makes sense... (?)

Frownland

I also find tin foil to be useful. I just bake it, no boiling. Leave the skins on but poke a few holes in it with a fork.

The holes are so the potato doesn't explode, I'm sure.
