I'm not too fussy about my deep fried treats. They're all no. 1 in my book. Except sweet potato, they can fuck off. They taste fine, but why are they always soggy?

[–] cnirrad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You haven't had good ones then, because a well cooked sweet tater fry that is crispy on the outside and soft in the middle is the best.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I clearly haven't, but I'd like to.

I'm really not a big white potato fan but sweet potatoes and onions are delicious

  1. Waffle fries (always crispy and delicious)
  2. Curly fries (same)
  3. Tater tots (surprisingly good)
  4. Wedges, if properly spiced
  5. Good onion rings
  6. Shoestring, if not limp
  7. Bad onion rings
  8. Bad wedges
  9. Crinkle cut (zigzag) (usually unflavored and soggy from a bag, but can be better than soggy shoestrings)
  10. Bad shoestrings
  11. Sweet potato fries (always soggy and I don't like sweet potato very much)

Doesn't matter, is potato. And onion rings. All are awesome.

I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.

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

Assuming they onion rings are beer batter and the curly fries are from Arby's.

2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.

Where are the cheese curds? Fucking profligates is deep fried cheese too good for ya?

[–] Atlas_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Most of these are good, just for different things. I want waffle fries at the bar; I want shoestring fries at the burger place; I want wedges at the cafe on the corner.

Except the zigzags. I don't think I've ever had a good zigzag.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

list is missing Fried Tofu

since we're apparently just including any random fuckin food you can fry

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)

3,2,1,8,4,5,7,6 for quick first gut reaction

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I’ll just take whatever. I’m not picky.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 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.

Seasoned fries for robbed

[–] Localhorst86@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

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

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.

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes
