Waffle and curly fries are overrated. Only good thing about curly fries are that they’re usually seasoned with something other than salt.
Cheese fries by itself? Disgusting wall spackle masquerading as cheese that only 7 year olds eat. If you’re gonna do it, put some chili on there like a grown up.
Belgian fries are one of the worst inventions, it’s just a crapload of mayo on top of your fries. Mayo is awful. Should be banned from all restaurants and grocery stores like ranch needs to be.
Where poutine on here? Missing a culinary classic that slaps. Sorry Canada, they forgot about you AGAIN.
Tator tots are hashbrowns with extra work and just get soggy in the middle. Horribly overrated as well.
My 3? Remember your C’s
Crinkle Cut is a civilized man’s French fry. The surface ratio allows for pockets of perfectly crisp fries and allows the potato to actually cook all the way through.
Chips are something the British do right and it would be wise to learn from our ancestors. They’re a better version of a steak fry or is a steak fry a worse version of a chip? Either way, these versatile fries go with almost any meal. They’re small enough to have as a snack or a side with a sandwich but thick enough to be your starch portion of a full Sunday roast. They hold condiments well if that floats your boat.
Chili cheese fries If you’re going to ruin your crunchy fries, might as well make it worth it. A combination of chili and cheese is a classic seen through the ages of time from hot dogs to Frito pies. Much better than that congealed pile of crap you would find on just cheese fries.
