I'm really not a big white potato fan but sweet potatoes and onions are delicious

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

This is exactly what I thought as going to answer. Fuckin LOVE sweet potatoes and onions

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)
  1. Waffle fries (always crispy and delicious)
  2. Curly fries (same)
  3. Tater tots (surprisingly good)
  4. Wedges, if properly spiced
  5. Good onion rings
  6. Shoestring, if not limp
  7. Bad onion rings
  8. Bad wedges
  9. Crinkle cut (zigzag) (usually unflavored and soggy from a bag, but can be better than soggy shoestrings)
  10. Bad shoestrings
  11. Sweet potato fries (always soggy and I don't like sweet potato very much)
[–] EchoSnail@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

Yes. To all of them.

I'm not too fussy about my deep fried treats. They're all no. 1 in my book. Except sweet potato, they can fuck off. They taste fine, but why are they always soggy?

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You haven't had good ones then, because a well cooked sweet tater fry that is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle is the best.

  1. Tater tots are basically an entire potential meal of their own. Not a French fry, but I may actually prefer them as a possible main dish.

  2. The best French fries. They are the perfect side.

  3. If you want to fancy it up a bit. Suitable for formal occasions.

  4. Taking the one-dimensional line of the French fry and extrapolating it out to two dimensions. Still a good ketchup conveyance, but starting to get into the issue I'm going to bring up with...

5, 6, 7. Not a good enough ratio of crispy outer fried surface to gooey potato inner. I prefer crisp, but when I bite one of these, I have a good chance of just getting a mouthful of scalding hot potato napalm, or what's worse, cold potato cement. Not ideal.

'8. Yeccch.

Most of these are good, just for different things. I want waffle fries at the bar; I want shoestring fries at the burger place; I want wedges at the cafe on the corner.

Except the zigzags. I don't think I've ever had a good zigzag.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

8, 2 4, 3, 1, 6, 7, 5

Assuming they onion rings are beer batter and the curly fries are from Arby's.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.

[–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

My vote is on number 10: Röstis

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

  • Wedges
  • Curly
  • Zigzag
  • Shoestring
  • Waffle
  • Tots
  • Sweet Potato (not a potato but closer than an onion)
  • Onion Rings (not a potato, would be 3 otherwise)
[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What the heck kind of list is this?

Where are the steak fries?

3,2,1,8,4,5,7,6 for quick first gut reaction

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

When cooked well enough, I'd say 1 2 4 5 8 3 6 7.

Ain't no way I'd ever put wedges higher or shoelace lower. Those are always gonna be constant.

[–] jeanofthedead@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago
[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 2 points 10 months ago

Doesn't matter, is potato. And onion rings. All are awesome.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Zig zag/crinkle cut goes to the back and I think waffle deserves the #1 spot personally. I agree with the rest of the ordering otherwise.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago
  • Shoestrings
  • Tots
  • Wedges (but not the ones in this picture)
  • Onion Rings (they'd be higher on the list but they're not potatoes)
  • Waffle
  • Curly
  • Zigzag (why do they always suck so much? In theory they should be great. Also why are they always sold at public swimming pools?)
  • Sweet potato

Anything in the list gets to move up +1 when chicken salt is added if the other contenders don't, except sweet potato or onion rings.
