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?

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

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.

Yes. To all of them.

I'm really not a big white potato fan but sweet potatoes and onions are delicious
This is exactly what I thought as going to answer. Fuckin LOVE sweet potatoes and onions
8, 2 4, 3, 1, 6, 7, 5
Assuming they onion rings are beer batter and the curly fries are from Arby's.
- Wedges
- Curly
- Zigzag
- Shoestring
- Waffle
- Tots
- Sweet Potato (not a potato but closer than an onion)
- Onion Rings (not a potato, would be 3 otherwise)
list is missing Fried Tofu
since we're apparently just including any random fuckin food you can fry

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?
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.
I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.
My vote is on number 10: Röstis
1,5,7,8,3,4,2,6
I’ll just take whatever. I’m not picky.
If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.
1-4, 6-8 YESSSSSSS 5 NO!

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.
