Jacket Potato
Assuming the classic British preparation: baked until the skin crisps, dressed with butter and mature cheddar. The starch is the base, the butter adds richness, and the aged cheddar brings sharpness and a nutty depth. The wine needs enough acidity to cut the butter and enough character to engage the cheddar without overwhelming a dish that is fundamentally modest in register.
