  1. Everything else on the list
  2. Onion rings

What can I say, I love tubers

[–] EchoSnail@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago

Yes. To all of them.

  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)

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.

What the heck kind of list is this?

Where are the steak fries?

  • 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)

Name checks out.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 9 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.

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

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

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 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.

If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't say anything about potatoes.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Then I declare this debate invalid. Jalapeño poppers aren't even on the list and they're better than all of these.

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.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Best to worst:

  • wedges (like a mini baked potato, but better!)

  • shoestring (a tried & true classic)

  • curly (the perfect blend of potato & seasoning)

  • zigzag (sometimes can be a bit mushy)

  • tots (sometimes give me heartburn for some reason)

  • waffle (often don’t get cooked all the way, if they stick together)

  • onion rings (a decent alternative to potato based side, but I can’t eat more than a few)

  • sweet potato (they just don’t fry right. The texture gets weird and the taste is off)

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

i do love sweet potato, but quite often it seems they dont fit.

6 is so low on the list, because I genuinely never had good ones. If someone serves crinkle-cut fries, they are always the most bland, soggy, frozen industrial ones they can find.

Similar goes for 2 and 4, although they usually dont taste as bland, they seem to have some seasoning on them.

I need more popcorn for parsing these comments

Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.
