Important question
-
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).
-
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.

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)

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait

I'm really sorry I should have put a trigger warning

- Tots (The huge crunchy)
- Zigzag (The staple chicken side)
- Shoestring (Though they're so common that they get old)
- Curly (Big mass)
- 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)

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.
