Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!
post
Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can't type
"Sides you dip in ketchup" covers everything in the image!
One is not like the others.
two are not like the others
Sweet Potato is at least a potato.
Is it? In that case, potatoes are apples by French standards. (Because it's in the name.)
Potatoes are a member of the Nightshade family.
Sweet "Potatoes" are from the Morning Glory family.
Completely separate genus. Even though they can be mostly cooked and prepared similarly, they are not related.
They're all fried tubers. I'll let it slide. The real travesty is no fried yuca on the list.
I don't believe onions are tubers..
I've tried onion rings at at least 5 different resteraunts. All of them just tasted like heart failure. Don't know how they are popular.

Uh, it's crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.
Our hill.
And my axe
... are the wedges the only non fried food in this picture?
How about boiling them tatoes?

Or simply pan fry them with some butter?

Anyways; 1. Wedges, 2. Waffles, 3. Shoestring with surprise sweet potatoes > The rest.
Wedges are fried often times. At our nation-wide supermarket for example, at the ready-made counter, wedges are definitely fried. Same with the mom and pop chicken shop down the street.

With Belgian mayonaise!
And I'm Dutch so I'm not even biased.
-
Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.
-
Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.
-
Curly Fries: Curly Fries are hard to fuck up. I don't even think I've had a variation of curly fries. They're all the same to me, but they're so good.
-
Wedges: Wedges have a smaller spectrum than onion rings, but the ceiling is lower and they're hard to rank better than the ones ahead of them.
-
Shoestring: McDonalds
-
ZigZag: These can range from heavenly to straight fucking trash. Unfortunately they're too easy to turn into straight fucking trash. By that I mean you have to put more work into them to make them good as opposed to just salt and oven/fried. Might as well just try to fry some snow at that point.
-
Sweet Potato: I've had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.
-
Waffle: I don't get these. They're ass. The only place that makes them kinda tolerable is Chik-Fila, but even then they're still ass to me. Can't even make them good at home without drowning them in salt and ketchup. I can slice up a potato and chuck them in the oven and get better results most of the time.
Edit for formatting. Apparently piefed, doesn't honor your numbering and turns it into 1, 2, 3, etc even if you go 8, 12, 3.
2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 5.
Onion rings are either at the top or bottom of the list depending on the batch.
They're all tied for number 1, except sweet potato, which skips all the empty spots below and goes straight to number 8. Sweet potato fries suck.
- Cheese curds
- 3 (tots)
- 2 (curly)
- 6 (
zigzagcrinkle cut) - 4 (waffle)
- 7 (
wedgesJo-Jo’s) - 5 (sweet potato)
- 8 (onion rings) - tied with sweet potatoes; they’re both lost and in the wrong part of town
- 1 (shoestring) - potato chip sticks with more steps
Missing: coniques.
My only strong opinion on the whole chart is that crinkle cut fries are the worst thing shown and thus take last place no matter what
Jack in the Box curlies from 20 years ago before they switched to a different frying oil. I was just arriving in the states and that stuff was the best ever.
Where the hell are the Cajun fries?
8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6
Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.
I think onion rings and tots need to be removed from the list as neither are potato based. Substitute latkes and hash browns in their places.
Bro, what are your tots made out of?
-Curly
-Onion Ring (isn't really tater but I love them)
-Waffle
-Shoestring
-Sweet potato
-Zigzag (crinkle cut)
-Wedges
-Tots
Honestly though if im only stuck with the last three I won't even eat them-
Doesn't matter which, if its done incorrectly its complete garbage.
Done right, each one, extremely delicious... except maybe sweet potato
Why not #9?
