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.

What exactly are your tots made of, if not 'tater?

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.
Sweet Potato fries turn out way better than regular potato in an air fryer if you're buying frozen ones to make at home.
I bought a spice grinder and made a spice mix for my sweet potato fries. Its a mix of salt, old bay, montreal steak seasoning and dried chilli flakes and its awesome.

Where does it say that being potato based is part of the criteria?

Bro, what are your tots made out of?

If we're talking about expanding to other potatoe-preparations, we might as well include a simple baked potatoe.
And, as a Bavarian, I cannot omit the glorious Knödel (in all it's potato-based variations).
Preparation is important.
Air fryer makes sweet potato move up the list, regular oven makes tots go up. Traditional deep fried makes them go down and brings the potato items up.

Then I declare this debate invalid. Jalapeño poppers aren't even on the list and they're better than all of these.
Poppers are like appetisers, these to me are sides.

Where are you even getting curly or waffle fries from in this country? Feel like I've never seen them in my life.
I think you can get both at costco.

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

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.
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.
-
... 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.

Bro, what are your tots made out of?
Industrial waste or cardboard, would be my guess (it was a joke, tots are every bit as good as waffle fry’s).

Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.

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)
-
-
- 3 (tots)
- 2 (curly)
- 6 (
zigzagcrinkle cut) - 4 (waffle)
- 7 (
wedgesJo-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.

Fuck that potato canoes FTW

What do you mean, potatoes are closer to tomatoes than to sweet potatoes or onions?
Botany is a scam.
I was super proud of myself last month, because I saw the leaves of a potato plant for the first time and my first thought was that it looked like tobacco. Turns out, tobacco’s also a nightshade!
Botany is fucking weird, but especially nightshades: staple carbs, deadly poisons, fucked up psychotropics, nicotine, capsaicin, a bunch of semisweet edible berries (from physalis to tomatoes to eggplants), and of course, peanuts.

two are not like the others
They're all fried tubers. I'll let it slide. The real travesty is no fried yuca on the list.

Best to worst:
- Wedges
- Shoestring
- Curly
- Waffle
- Sweet Potato (love sweet potatoes, but as fries they're mediocre at best)
- Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
- Zigzag
- Onion Rings (don't even belong on this list. Otherwise maybe #5)
