One is not like the others.

Sweet Potato is at least a potato.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Is it? In that case, potatoes are apples by French standards. (Because it's in the name.)

[-] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago

They are at least relatives.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

They’re as closely related as a human and a lemur.

The Spanish just got confused between the names batata and papa and called them similar names. Yams are even further away from both sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!

[-] cdf12345@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

It’s not worth respecting something that clearly belongs on the bottom of the list.

[-] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Sweet potato is at the bottom. If you disagree with me, you're an idiot.

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, but I'm an idiot with happy taste buds.

Zigzag

Uh, it's crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.

[-] Daemnyz@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

Edit: I can't type

[-] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

... 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.

[-] SpongyAneurysm@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

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).

This

With Belgian mayonaise!

And I'm Dutch so I'm not even biased.

[-] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. Vlaamse frieten zijn superieur.

5, [tied: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7], 6, 8

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.

[-] Ileftreddit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever anyone’s opinion on this, ONION RINGS DO NOT BELONG HERE, they are NOT POTATOS

They're all tied for number 1, except sweet potato, which skips all the empty spots below and goes straight to number 8. Sweet potato fries suck.

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

Onion rings are either at the top or bottom of the list depending on the batch.

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

Sweet spud ftw!

[-] quinkin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

No. I refuse to rank my children as well.

[-] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago
  • 3 (tots)
  • 2 (curly)
  • 6 (~~zigzag~~ crinkle cut)
  • 4 (waffle)
  • 7 (~~wedges~~ Jo-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.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

[-] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Eh I'm English, all beige food is top tier!

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Okay, two of them aren’t even the same vegetable.

[-] GoddessGundy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

-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-

[-] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)
  1. Tater tot: A good tater tot is like butter. Pure salt and crunch then melt in your mouth deliciousness.

  2. Onion Rings: Good onion rings is technically better than tater tots, but the spectrum of bad to good onion rings is very wide.

  3. Curly Fries: Curly Fries are hard to fuck up. I don't even think I've had a variation of curly fries. They're all the same to me, but they're so good.

  4. Wedges: Wedges have a smaller spectrum than onion rings, but the ceiling is lower and they're hard to rank better than the ones ahead of them.

  5. Shoestring: McDonalds

  6. ZigZag: These can range from heavenly to straight fucking trash. Unfortunately they're too easy to turn into straight fucking trash. By that I mean you have to put more work into them to make them good as opposed to just salt and oven/fried. Might as well just try to fry some snow at that point.

  7. Sweet Potato: I've had good sweet potato fries but I rarely get good sweet potato fries.

  8. Waffle: I don't get these. They're ass. The only place that makes them kinda tolerable is Chik-Fila, but even then they're still ass to me. Can't even make them good at home without drowning them in salt and ketchup. I can slice up a potato and chuck them in the oven and get better results most of the time.

Edit for formatting. Apparently piefed, doesn't honor your numbering and turns it into 1, 2, 3, etc even if you go 8, 12, 3.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Anglosphere ah ah list

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)
  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)
[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] jeanofthedead@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago
[-] zxqwas@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

1-4, 6-8 YESSSSSSS 5 NO!

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Doesn't say anything about potatoes.
