Steak cut. Home fries. Has browns
Don't cut my boys out
I love my thick wedges! Shoestring always disappoints me for some reason
Onion rings top, then tots, then everything else
wedges, waffle, tots, onion rings, curly, shoestring, crinkle (never heard them called zigzag), sweet potato
I have had really good sweet potato fries that rank much higher, but they're a gamble. Seem to have greater variation in quality than the other options.
Starting with the best: 8,2,3,4,6,7,5,1
72614358
8-1-ill order something else
58142736
Best to worst: 83752461
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.
3 –> 1 –> 4 –> 2 –> 6 –> 8 –> 7 –> 5
Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!
It’s not worth respecting something that clearly belongs on the bottom of the list.
Sweet potato is at the bottom. If you disagree with me, you're an idiot.
Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can't type
I'm really sorry I should have put a trigger warning
One is not like the others.
two are not like the others
Sweet Potato is at least a potato.
Is it? In that case, potatoes are apples by French standards. (Because it's in the name.)
Potatoes are a member of the Nightshade family.
Sweet "Potatoes" are from the Morning Glory family.
Completely separate genus. Even though they can be mostly cooked and prepared similarly, they are not related.
They're all fried tubers. I'll let it slide. The real travesty is no fried yuca on the list.
... 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.
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.

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.
2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 5.
Onion rings are either at the top or bottom of the list depending on the batch.
Missing: coniques.
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.
Oh shit latkes are like bringing a gun to a knife fight. None of the other options even come close.
What exactly are your tots made of, if not 'tater?
Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.
-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-
5, 1, 8, 7, 3, 6, 2, 4
Sweet spud ftw!
