Tater tots are basically an entire potential meal of their own. Not a French fry, but I may actually prefer them as a possible main dish.
-
The best French fries. They are the perfect side.
-
If you want to fancy it up a bit. Suitable for formal occasions.
-
Taking the one-dimensional line of the French fry and extrapolating it out to two dimensions. Still a good ketchup conveyance, but starting to get into the issue I'm going to bring up with...
5, 6, 7. Not a good enough ratio of crispy outer fried surface to gooey potato inner. I prefer crisp, but when I bite one of these, I have a good chance of just getting a mouthful of scalding hot potato napalm, or what's worse, cold potato cement. Not ideal.
'8. Yeccch.
Zigzag?? Bitch you mean crinkle cut?!?!
It’s not worth respecting something that clearly belongs on the bottom of the list.
Sweet potato is at the bottom. If you disagree with me, you're an idiot.

I would like onion rings but shaped like curly fries #2
Chip shop chips > roast potato > steak fries > everything on this list
From best to worst - 2,8,4,3,7,1,5,6
Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can't type
"Sides you dip in ketchup" covers everything in the image!
I'm really sorry I should have put a trigger warning
Yes. To all of them.
Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes
4, 6 (if super crispy), 1, 3, 2, 7, 5, 8
how are zigzags in (if super crispy)?
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.
Did they do what McDonald's did and switch from beef tallow to vegetable oil?
I miss the old McDonald's fries but I like that their less terrible for you, but yet they're still not vegetarian/vegan.
Hardee's curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl's Jr. too, but I wouldn't know.
- Cheese curds
- 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)
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.
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.
What exactly are your tots made of, if not 'tater?
Where does it say that being potato based is part of the criteria?
Fuck that potato canoes FTW
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)
- Everything else on the list
- Onion rings
What can I say, I love tubers
What? No Mojo's??
- Wedges
- Sweet Potato
- Onion Rings
- Shoestring
- Waffle
- Curly
- Zigzag
- Tots
Best to worst:

- Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
