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)

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

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

Crazy. Mine is almost the reverse of your order

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

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

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

So, shoestring and wedges have such a huge range of quality, there are so many ambiguities here!

Not zigzags though. Zigzags can get fucked.

Edit: But really. Trash shoestrings are tue most trash. If you can get the oil hot enough, or do the double drop trick, you get one of the best stand alone fries, but they arent good for dipping in much more than ketchup, and you cant, like, put cheese on them or anything. You need more substantial fries for that. Wedges are similarly niche in the other direction, and the quality of their preparation varies widely.

Edit: replace zigzags with fried zucchini or mushrooms or mozzarella sticks. Then that slot is back in contention.

8, 1, 6, 7, 4, 2, 3, 5

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

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

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

2, the rest of the list.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

8, 5, 7, 1, 6, 4, 3, 2

3, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 7, 5. Because tots are absolutely immaculate, and sweet potatos (tho good when roasted) are simply not the same kind of satisfying guilty pleasure as the rest.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

3 –> 1 –> 4 –> 2 –> 6 –> 8 –> 7 –> 5

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days 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.

8, 4, 5, 2, 3, 7.

The rest are not worthy.

2, 8, [1/6], [3/4/7], 5
