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

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.
Hardee's curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl's Jr. too, but I wouldn't know.

The top three are Shoestring, Curly, and Wedges, though not necessarily in that order. I still have not managed to figure out how the fuck restaurants make their shoestring (and steak) fries so fucking good.
Next are waffle fries and onion rings. They're okay.
Sweet Potato fries and tots after that. Just not my thing.
Whoever likes zigzag/crinkle-cut fries is a monster. May god have mercy on their twisted souls.
The secret winner though is zucchini fries, which are mana from the heavens.

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.
-
The best French fries. They are the perfect side.
-
If you want to fancy it up a bit. Suitable for formal occasions.

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.
counterargument: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
1,5,7,8,3,4,2,6
I’ll just take whatever. I’m not picky.
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.
Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.

Yes. To all of them.
- Everything else on the list
- Onion rings
What can I say, I love tubers
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.
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.
-Curly
-Onion Ring (isn't really tater but I love them)
-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-
Seasoned fries for robbed
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.
Eh I'm English, all beige food is top tier!
5, 1, 8, 7, 3, 6, 2, 4
Sweet spud ftw!
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.
Gimme some of those tots
Wedges, winners
Onion rings second depending on their quality
Then sweet potato fries
[paja] (a Spanish variety that's amazing)
Shoe stings
curly
Zigzag
tots
Waffles
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.
3 >2>4>1>7>8>5>6
Steak cut. Home fries. Has browns
Don't cut my boys out
