But they can't be a dish by itself, you need more : like a steak.

Potatoes aren't "fattening", either. One large baked potato in its jacket with nothing on it is only 165 calories. It's not the potato that's unhealthy or fattening. It's the crap that people pile on it that is.

Such as

chili, sour cream, cheese, etc.

Sure they can be.  In America potatoes are relegated mainly to side dishes, but they can make up the main course as well.

False.

I stopped and got broccoli on the way home, and we have leftover asparagus from last night. The sour cream is low-fat. The cheese and chili are fine in small amounts.

Moderation, my friend, is key.

Yeah, Meri...less uterus talk, more utensil talk.  Lulz.

You've never heard of cheesy ham and potatoes or potato soup?

Keep trying, guys. It's good for the heart and soul to have goals.

[Ed Anger]

And even though I'm late(naps do that), chicken Parmesan.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm going to do the grilled cheese and tomato soup thing tonight, myself.

[Eddie Teach]

I'm going to have an oh-so-healthy baked potato. 

[Ed Anger]

I need my baked potato Paula Deen style.

WITH A STICK OF BUTTER.

In Ukraine, it was an annual tradition to obtain a sack of potatoes before the winter season and store it in one's subdivision of the apartment building basement.  One potato dish or another is pretty much all you consumed during the winter, since most other foodstuffs were out of season or too expensive.  It makes you appreciate the choice of foodstuffs when you have it.

Truly a worker's paradise.
