1. Tater tots are basically an entire potential meal of their own. Not a French fry, but I may actually prefer them as a possible main dish.

2. The best French fries. They are the perfect side.

3. If you want to fancy it up a bit. Suitable for formal occasions.

4. Taking the one-dimensional line of the French fry and extrapolating it out to two dimensions. Still a good ketchup conveyance, but starting to get into the issue I'm going to bring up with...

5, 6, 7. Not a good enough ratio of crispy outer fried surface to gooey potato inner. I prefer crisp, but when I bite one of these, I have a good chance of just getting a mouthful of scalding hot potato napalm, or what's worse, cold potato cement. Not ideal.

'8. Yeccch.

list is missing Fried Tofu

since we're apparently just including any random fuckin food you can fry

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.

1. Everything else on the list
2. Onion rings

What can I say, I love tubers

-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-

Yes. To all of them.

Anglosphere ah ah list

Eh I'm English, all beige food is top tier!

5, 1, 8, 7, 3, 6, 2, 4

Sweet spud ftw!

Most of these are good, just for different things. I want waffle fries at the bar; I want shoestring fries at the burger place; I want wedges at the cafe on the corner.

Except the zigzags. I don't think I've ever had a good zigzag.

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.

1,5,7,8,3,4,2,6

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

8,7,3,1,5,2,4,6

i do love sweet potato, but quite often it seems they dont fit.

6 is so low on the list, because I genuinely never had good ones. If someone serves crinkle-cut fries, they are always the most bland, soggy, frozen industrial ones they can find.

Similar goes for 2 and 4, although they usually dont taste as bland, they seem to have some seasoning on them.

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.

Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
After reading the comments I think I've never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn't leave an impresion.

Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.

Gimme some of those tots

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes

3 >2>4>1>7>8>5>6

Steak cut. Home fries. Has browns

Don't cut my boys out

1. Tots (The huge crunchy)
2. Zigzag (The staple chicken side)
3. Shoestring (Though they're so common that they get old)
4. Curly (Big mass)
5. Waffle (A little too wide)

Weirdos:

Wedges (The Bagpipe Theorem: Phenomenal when it's good, terrible when it's bad, it is at the top and the bottom of the list)

Sweet Potato (I tend to not like sweeter things)

Onion Rings (Please God I have ARFID that's not good crunchy)

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

I love my thick wedges! Shoestring always disappoints me for some reason
