  • 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] 3 points 1 day ago

Sweet potatoes aren't potatoes either.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days ago

doctors hate this one trick...?

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

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

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

[-] [email protected] 98 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

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

  • 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.

This

With Belgian mayonaise!

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

Zigzag

Uh, it's crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

My vote is on number 10: Röstis

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

5 8 7 2 4 1 6 3

[-] [email protected] 51 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 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

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] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

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] 7 points 2 days ago

No. I refuse to rank my children as well.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 3 days ago

One is not like the others.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 3 days ago

two are not like the others

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.

  1. Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.

  2. Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Shoestring: McDonalds

  6. 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.

  7. Sweet Potato: I've had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.

  8. 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.

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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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
