MODERATORS
Best to worst:
- Wedges
- Shoestring
- Curly
- Waffle
- Sweet Potato (love sweet potatoes, but as fries they're mediocre at best)
- Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
- Zigzag
- Onion Rings (don't even belong on this list. Otherwise maybe #5)
Yes. Also yes... And yes...
2 - 6 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 8 - 5.
The wedges you can keep.
I feel like wedges are a vehicle for sauce and they take spice well.
Make some really spicy wedges and some garlic and chive sour cream... thats a pretty decent combo.
Crazy. Mine is almost the reverse of your order

I genuinely love all of these, and struggled to rank them. Just a total potato gremlin.
These rankings also depend a lot on the source. So I just went with the best I've tasted of each.
What? No Mojo's??
- Wedges
- Sweet Potato
- Onion Rings
- Shoestring

- Zigzag
- Tots
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.

8, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7.
The rest are not worthy.
3 –> 1 –> 4 –> 2 –> 6 –> 8 –> 7 –> 5
2, 8, [1/6], [3/4/7], 5
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.
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.
