Zigzag
Uh, it’s crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.
Our hill.
And my axe
Whatever anyone’s opinion on this, ONION RINGS DO NOT BELONG HERE, they are NOT POTATOS
They are orthogonal to the potato axis.
Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!
It’s not worth respecting something that clearly belongs on the bottom of the list.
Sweet potato is at the bottom. If you disagree with me, you’re an idiot.
Ok, but I’m an idiot with happy taste buds.
You make me sick
Look at it this way, I’ll eat the stuff you don’t like so there’s more of the stuff you DO like!
You may be an idiot but you’re not stupid
🤣
This
With Belgian mayonaise!
And I’m Dutch so I’m not even biased.
Is that the same thing sold as “frite sauce”? That stuff is the food of the gods
I’m not an expert but I think frite sauce is basically mayonnaise with cheaper ingredients. To call something mayonnaise (at least in the Netherlands) it must contain 70% oil and 5% egg (yolk).
Yes. Vlaamse frieten zijn superieur.
Why Vlaamse? Good fries also in Brussels and Wallonia
Yes but they refuse to learn Dutch and nobody should be force to order in French

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can’t type
I’m really sorry I should have put a trigger warning
“Sides you dip in ketchup” covers everything in the image!
Where the hell are the Cajun fries?
8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6
Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.
They are definitely by shape (mostly, sweet potato is the odd one out), not seasoning. You can add Cajun seasoning to any of those and they’d still be what shape they are. Just like I prefer curly fries, but I don’t like the ones from Arby’s because of their seasoning.
mostly, sweet potato is the odd one out
And the onion rings.
They’re all tied for number 1, except sweet potato, which skips all the empty spots below and goes straight to number 8. Sweet potato fries suck.
My only strong opinion on the whole chart is that crinkle cut fries are the worst thing shown and thus take last place no matter what
Crinkle are dogshit tier but I’ll take them over sweet potato anything.
-
Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.
-
Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Shoestring: McDonalds
-
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.
-
Sweet Potato: I’ve had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.
-
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 nearly dismissed your review until you qualified your assessment of onion rings. I have transposed the order on those first two myself
They’re close. I might give another answer depending on the day. The rest of the order I stand by.
-
One is not like the others.
two are not like the others
They’re all fried tubers. I’ll let it slide. The real travesty is no fried yuca on the list.
I don’t believe onions are tubers…
I had to look it up – allium
Damn. My b.
Fried finger food.
Sweet Potato is at least a potato.
Potatoes are a member of the Nightshade family.
Sweet “Potatoes” are from the Morning Glory family.
Completely separate genus. Even though they can be mostly cooked and prepared similarly, they are not related.
They are cousins of the same order, Solanales
Is it? In that case, potatoes are apples by French standards. (Because it’s in the name.)
They are at least relatives.
They’re as closely related as a human and a lemur.
The Spanish just got confused between the names batata and papa and called them similar names. Yams are even further away from both sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are more potatoes than onions are potatoes.
What are yams though?
They’re fucking monocots, so way the hell removed (like onions). But none of these plants even share a family, order is the closest it gets.
Not really. 👍
Most of them pictured aren’t even French cut.
I know… Potato in French is “pomme de terre”, “apple of the earth”.
Today you learned.
No. I refuse to rank my children as well.
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.
What exactly are your tots made of, if not 'tater?
Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.
Bro, what are your tots made out of?
Industrial waste or cardboard, would be my guess (it was a joke, tots are every bit as good as waffle fry’s).
Oh shit latkes are like bringing a gun to a knife fight. None of the other options even come close.
Where does it say that being potato based is part of the criteria?
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?
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.
I clearly haven’t, but I’d like to.
So true actually
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.
list is missing Fried Tofu
since we’re apparently just including any random fuckin food you can fry
Also missing fried taro and fried cassava.
