2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.

  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.

Waffle fries > onion rings > wedges

[–] Shannaresh@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Crinkle are dogshit tier but I'll take them over sweet potato anything.

Where are the cheese curds? Fucking profligates is deep fried cheese too good for ya?

HOW DARE YOU, onion rings are awesome

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.

[–] anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 days ago (4 children)

... are the wedges the only non fried food in this picture?

How about boiling them tatoes?

Or simply pan fry them with some butter?

Anyways; 1. Wedges, 2. Waffles, 3. Shoestring with surprise sweet potatoes > The rest.

[–] Memetic@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

Wedges are fried often times. At our nation-wide supermarket for example, at the ready-made counter, wedges are definitely fried. Same with the mom and pop chicken shop down the street.

  1. Waffle fries (always crispy and delicious)
  2. Curly fries (same)
  3. Tater tots (surprisingly good)
  4. Wedges, if properly spiced
  5. Good onion rings
  6. Shoestring, if not limp
  7. Bad onion rings
  8. Bad wedges
  9. Crinkle cut (zigzag) (usually unflavored and soggy from a bag, but can be better than soggy shoestrings)
  10. Bad shoestrings
  11. Sweet potato fries (always soggy and I don't like sweet potato very much)

5, [tied: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7], 6, 8

Sweet potato fries are fucking amazing when they're done right. Usually they're overly mushy which I think is why they get so much hate, but they're top tier when the cook knows what they're doing.

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?

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

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

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