8-1-ill order something else

I would like onion rings but shaped like curly fries #2

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

From best to worst - 2,8,4,3,7,1,5,6

Sweet potato Onion Rings Curly Tots Shoestrings Wedges Waffle Zigzag.

Tots might be lower on the list, but I found they can work surprizingly well in some lazy microwave meals I make, so they get extra points for ease and dependability.

Gimme some of those tots

Rank is less important than the presence or absence of chicken salt.

I love curly fries, but the ones depicted look pretty mid

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.

I love all of these, not gonna lie.

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

Crazy. Mine is almost the reverse of your order

1st: Curly

2nd: Waffle

3rd: Shoestring

4th: Wedges

5th: Tater Tots

6th: Zig Zag

7th: Onion Rings

8th: Sweet Potato Fries

I genuinely love all of these, and struggled to rank them. Just a total potato gremlin.

These rankings also depend a lot on the source. So I just went with the best I've tasted of each.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Onion rings, sweet potatoes, and you can have the rest.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

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

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

2, the rest of the list.

Shoestring, Onion Ring, Waffle, Tots, Curly, Wedges, Zigzag, Sweet Potato

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

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 months ago

Waffle fries > onion rings > wedges

1 6 8 4 3 2 7 5

[–] basiclemmon98@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

3, 4, 2, 8, 6, 1, 7, 5. Because tots are absolutely immaculate, and sweet potatos (tho good when roasted) are simply not the same kind of satisfying guilty pleasure as the rest.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Onion rings top, then tots, then everything else

Curly, shoestring, sweet potato. The rest are unappetizing, either too greasy to bear or not crunchy enough. Swap hash browns in for onion rings and we have a contender.
