Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.

Gimme some of those tots

Wedges, winners

Onion rings second depending on their quality

Then sweet potato fries

[paja] (a Spanish variety that's amazing)

Shoe stings

curly

Zigzag

tots

Waffles

Sweet potato Onion Rings Curly Tots Shoestrings Wedges Waffle Zigzag.

Tots might be lower on the list, but I found they can work surprizingly well in some lazy microwave meals I make, so they get extra points for ease and dependability.

Best to worst:

  1. Wedges
  2. Shoestring
  3. Curly
  4. Waffle
  5. Sweet Potato (love sweet potatoes, but as fries they're mediocre at best)
  6. Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
  7. Zigzag
  8. Onion Rings (don't even belong on this list. Otherwise maybe #5)

8, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7.

The rest are not worthy.

So, shoestring and wedges have such a huge range of quality, there are so many ambiguities here!

Not zigzags though. Zigzags can get fucked.

Edit: But really. Trash shoestrings are tue most trash. If you can get the oil hot enough, or do the double drop trick, you get one of the best stand alone fries, but they arent good for dipping in much more than ketchup, and you cant, like, put cheese on them or anything. You need more substantial fries for that. Wedges are similarly niche in the other direction, and the quality of their preparation varies widely.

Edit: replace zigzags with fried zucchini or mushrooms or mozzarella sticks. Then that slot is back in contention.

Those were all just thrown in to cause confusion and distract everybody from the correct answer, Onion Rings.

Edible tier:

  • Sweet Potato      
  • Onion rings        
  • Curly     
  • Shoestring + tots (tie)      

Garbage Tier:

  • Wedges       
  • Crinkle cut ("zigzag")        
  • Waffle fries (does anyone actually like these?)

Everyone else is wrong. Yes, even you.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Wedges are better for dipping into a sauce, Waffle fries are the best option for "loaded" fries IMO.

I'm with you on crinkle tho... never had amazing ones.
