Seasoned fries for robbed

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)
  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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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

Starting with the best: 8,2,3,4,6,7,5,1

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

This is exactly what I thought as going to answer. Fuckin LOVE sweet potatoes and onions

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Doesn't matter which, if its done incorrectly its complete garbage.

Done right, each one, extremely delicious... except maybe sweet potato

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Zig zag/crinkle cut goes to the back and I think waffle deserves the #1 spot personally. I agree with the rest of the ordering otherwise.

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.

I assumed because the category was "things that aren't actually real chips / potato fries" - by being real pieces of fried potato these are disqualified 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

They are delicious

I would like onion rings but shaped like curly fries #2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

  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.
