  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.

I'm not too fussy about my deep fried treats. They're all no. 1 in my book. Except sweet potato, they can fuck off. They taste fine, but why are they always soggy?

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You haven't had good ones then, because a well cooked sweet tater fry that is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle is the best.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I clearly haven't, but I'd like to.

I'm really not a big white potato fan but sweet potatoes and onions are delicious

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.

[–] Atlas_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] buzz86us@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Seasoned fries for robbed

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

Doesn't matter, is potato. And onion rings. All are awesome.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 1 year ago

1-4, 6-8 YESSSSSSS 5 NO!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't say anything about potatoes.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Then I declare this debate invalid. Jalapeño poppers aren't even on the list and they're better than all of these.

Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes
