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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

Jack in the Box curlies from 20 years ago before they switched to a different frying oil. I was just arriving in the states and that stuff was the best ever.

  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)

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait

Edit: I can't type

"Sides you dip in ketchup" covers everything in the image!

Best to worst:

  1. Wedges
  2. Shoestring
  3. Curly
  4. Waffle
  5. Sweet Potato (love sweet potatoes, but as fries they're mediocre at best)
  6. Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
  7. Zigzag
  8. Onion Rings (don't even belong on this list. Otherwise maybe #5)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

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

Best to worst:

  • wedges (like a mini baked potato, but better!)

  • shoestring (a tried & true classic)

  • curly (the perfect blend of potato & seasoning)

  • zigzag (sometimes can be a bit mushy)

  • tots (sometimes give me heartburn for some reason)

  • waffle (often don’t get cooked all the way, if they stick together)

  • onion rings (a decent alternative to potato based side, but I can’t eat more than a few)

  • sweet potato (they just don’t fry right. The texture gets weird and the taste is off)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bro, what are your tots made out of?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Industrial waste or cardboard, would be my guess (it was a joke, tots are every bit as good as waffle fry’s).

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

Where does it say that being potato based is part of the criteria?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

What exactly are your tots made of, if not 'tater?

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

-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-

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

Edible tier:

  • Sweet Potato      
  • Onion rings        
  • Curly     
  • Shoestring + tots (tie)      

Garbage Tier:

  • Wedges       
  • Crinkle cut ("zigzag")        
  • Waffle fries (does anyone actually like these?)

Everyone else is wrong. Yes, even you.

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

Wedges are better for dipping into a sauce, Waffle fries are the best option for "loaded" fries IMO.

I'm with you on crinkle tho... never had amazing ones.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)
  • 3 (tots)
  • 2 (curly)
  • 6 (~~zigzag~~ crinkle cut)
  • 4 (waffle)
  • 7 (~~wedges~~ Jo-Jo’s)
  • 5 (sweet potato)
  • 8 (onion rings) - tied with sweet potatoes; they’re both lost and in the wrong part of town
  • 1 (shoestring) - potato chip sticks with more steps

Missing: coniques.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ugh. People who call wedges “Jo-Jo’s” creep me out. It’s just so weird. Agreed about Crinkle fries though.

The rest are not worthy.
