Anglosphere ah ah list

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

HOW DARE YOU, onion rings are awesome

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)
  1. Tots (The huge crunchy)
  2. Zigzag (The staple chicken side)
  3. Shoestring (Though they're so common that they get old)
  4. Curly (Big mass)
  5. Waffle (A little too wide)

Weirdos:

Wedges (The Bagpipe Theorem: Phenomenal when it's good, terrible when it's bad, it is at the top and the bottom of the list)

Sweet Potato (I tend to not like sweeter things)

Onion Rings (Please God I have ARFID that's not good crunchy)

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Thing a about sweet potatoes is, you can eat em straight. Sweet potato fries by themselves are probably less sugar than regular fries + ketchup

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Best to worst:

  • wedges (like a mini baked potato, but better!)

  • shoestring (a tried & true classic)

  • curly (the perfect blend of potato & seasoning)

  • zigzag (sometimes can be a bit mushy)

  • tots (sometimes give me heartburn for some reason)

  • waffle (often don’t get cooked all the way, if they stick together)

  • onion rings (a decent alternative to potato based side, but I can’t eat more than a few)

  • sweet potato (they just don’t fry right. The texture gets weird and the taste is off)

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.
