Seasoned fries for robbed

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes

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

Ok there's another factor here and that's taking into account the dipping sauce if any.

Crinkle cut without sauce? Bland. With a good sauce? Those little accordion fucks hold way more than shoestring.

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)

I’ll just take whatever. I’m not picky.

Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.

Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else

And fuck ketchup, combine one part mayonnaise and one part BBQ sauce to dip that shit in

[–] orenj@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

ketchups good with an equal amount of chili pequin sauce mixed in. I learned this at a mexican restaurant that also served burgers and fries for some reason, and haven't been able to go back to any other fry sauce since

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The top three are Shoestring, Curly, and Wedges, though not necessarily in that order. I still have not managed to figure out how the fuck restaurants make their shoestring (and steak) fries so fucking good.

Next are waffle fries and onion rings. They're okay.

Sweet Potato fries and tots after that. Just not my thing.

Whoever likes zigzag/crinkle-cut fries is a monster. May god have mercy on their twisted souls.

The secret winner though is zucchini fries, which are mana from the heavens.

  • 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.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

2, the rest of the list.

[–] _AutumnMoon_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Shoestring, Onion Ring, Waffle, Tots, Curly, Wedges, Zigzag, Sweet Potato

[–] basiclemmon98@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

3, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 7, 5. Because tots are absolutely immaculate, and sweet potatos (tho good when roasted) are simply not the same kind of satisfying guilty pleasure as the rest.

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

HOW DARE YOU, onion rings are awesome
