  • Wedges

  • Zigzag
  • Shoestring
  • Waffle
  • Tots
  • Sweet Potato (not a potato but closer than an onion)
  • Onion Rings (not a potato, would be 3 otherwise)

Whatever anyone’s opinion on this, ONION RINGS DO NOT BELONG HERE, they are NOT POTATOS

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Sweet potatoes aren't potatoes either.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

they're fried

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

You must not have had them with barbeque sauce

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

OK. I'll try ONE more time...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

doctors hate this one trick...?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Okay, two of them aren’t even the same vegetable.

  • 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.

1st: Curly

2nd: Waffle

3rd: Shoestring

4th: Wedges

5th: Tater Tots

6th: Zig Zag

7th: Onion Rings

8th: Sweet Potato Fries

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

This

With Belgian mayonaise!

And I'm Dutch so I'm not even biased.

My vote is on number 10: Röstis

[-] [email protected] 95 points 2 days ago

Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

And those are JoJos....

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

It’s not worth respecting something that clearly belongs on the bottom of the list.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Sweet potato is at the bottom. If you disagree with me, you're an idiot.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

Ok, but I'm an idiot with happy taste buds.

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.

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I wonder if they could be made better by doing that parboil-freeze-deepfry trick that makes mcdonalds fries so good

[-] [email protected] 49 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait

Edit: I can't type

No. I refuse to rank my children as well.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

I need more popcorn for parsing these comments

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I'm loving how passionately people feel about it

2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.
