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.
I love all of these, not gonna lie.
- 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.
Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.

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.

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.
My vote is on number 10: Röstis
5 8 7 2 4 1 6 3
3>2>4>6…
Okay, two of them aren’t even the same vegetable.
1 6 8 4 3 2 7 5
Waffle fries > onion rings > wedges
Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else
And fuck ketchup, combine one part mayonnaise and one part BBQ sauce to dip that shit in
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
I'm loving how passionately people feel about it
HOW DARE YOU, onion rings are awesome
