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.
Sweet Potato fries turn out way better than regular potato in an air fryer if you're buying frozen ones to make at home.
I bought a spice grinder and made a spice mix for my sweet potato fries. Its a mix of salt, old bay, montreal steak seasoning and dried chilli flakes and its awesome.
Hard agree. The only issue is frozen sweet potato fries are way more expensive than regular. I try to make my own at home but can’t get the same crispness in the air fryer.

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.
Oh shit latkes are like bringing a gun to a knife fight. None of the other options even come close.
Tots are literally cylindrical hash browns.

8-1-ill order something else
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.
Hardee's curly fries are the best. By extension I guess that means Carl's Jr. too, but I wouldn't know.
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.

Zig zag/crinkle cut goes to the back and I think waffle deserves the #1 spot personally. I agree with the rest of the ordering otherwise.
Best to worst: 83752461
Yes. To all of them.
- 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.
Ugh. People who call wedges “Jo-Jo’s” creep me out. It’s just so weird. Agreed about Crinkle fries though.
2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 5.
Onion rings are either at the top or bottom of the list depending on the batch.
- Everything else on the list
- Onion rings
What can I say, I love tubers

Onions > sweet potatoes > potatoes
1 > 2 > 5 > 8 > 4 > 3 > 6 > 7
Chips?
Eh I'm English, all beige food is top tier!
- 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)
Thing a about sweet potatoes is, you can eat em straight. Sweet potato fries by themselves are probably less sugar than regular fries + ketchup
