Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.

  6. Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)

I love curly fries, but the ones depicted look pretty mid

2 - 6 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 8 - 5.
The wedges you can keep.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I feel like wedges are a vehicle for sauce and they take spice well.

Make some really spicy wedges and some garlic and chive sour cream... thats a pretty decent combo.

[–] lukstru@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Crazy. Mine is almost the reverse of your order

Never had curlies, tots (not even sure what they are) or waffle fries.
After reading the comments I think I've never had good onion rings or sweet potato fries. Those are a no from me. Onion rings were just deep fried batter and sweet potato was sweet and soggy. Both didn't leave an impresion.

Now my potato of choice is wedges (especially if cooked in an oven). Then whatever is left. Not sure why everyone is hating on zigzags. The thickness is similar to straight fries so it should cook similarly and without seasoning everything will taste bland.

[–] mortalic@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yes. Also yes... And yes...

Curly, shoestring, sweet potato. The rest are unappetizing, either too greasy to bear or not crunchy enough. Swap hash browns in for onion rings and we have a contender.

1st: Curly

2nd: Waffle

3rd: Shoestring

4th: Wedges

5th: Tater Tots

6th: Zig Zag

7th: Onion Rings

8th: Sweet Potato Fries

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.

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

HOW DARE YOU, onion rings are awesome

I love all of these, not gonna lie.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 weeks ago

Onion rings, sweet potatoes, and you can have the rest.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 weeks ago

Waffle fries > onion rings > wedges

[–] _AutumnMoon_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Shoestring, Onion Ring, Waffle, Tots, Curly, Wedges, Zigzag, Sweet Potato
