is “zu dem” a thing? I was getting some food and I was like “ich hätte gern einen Mix-Teller” and I’m pretty sure the guy was like” zu dem extra Kartoffeln?” (I’m a regular there the guy knows i don’t eat potatos so it was a joke).
I mean it works grammatically in my mind “to (the dish) extra potatoes” I just wanted to check what you think – I’m not sure his first language is german either.
I’d probably have gone for “extra Kartoffeln drauf?”
The standard would be “dazu extra kartoffeln” or even more refined “mit extra Kartoffeln”. “zu dem” only works if you REALLY want to stress the “dem” and it feels super stilted to me.
