Whatever anyone’s opinion on this, ONION RINGS DO NOT BELONG HERE, they are NOT POTATOS
Sweet potatoes aren’t potatoes either.
I’ve tried onion rings at at least 5 different resteraunts. All of them just tasted like heart failure. Don’t know how they are popular.
You must not have had them with barbeque sauce
OK. I’ll try ONE more time…
doctors hate this one trick…?
they’re fried
Yes this screams of shitpost.
They are orthogonal to the potato axis.
Okay, two of them aren’t even the same vegetable.
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.
Ok, but I’m an idiot with happy taste buds.
You make me sick
Look at it this way, I’ll eat the stuff you don’t like so there’s more of the stuff you DO like!
You may be an idiot but you’re not stupid
🤣
And those are JoJos…
Zigzag
Uh, it’s crinkle cut and someone will die on my hill.
Our hill.
And my axe
And my bow 🏹
This
With Belgian mayonaise!
And I’m Dutch so I’m not even biased.
Yes. Vlaamse frieten zijn superieur.
Why Vlaamse? Good fries also in Brussels and Wallonia
Yes but they refuse to learn Dutch and nobody should be force to order in French
Because it is the Dutch term for Belgian fries.
Is that the same thing sold as “frite sauce”? That stuff is the food of the gods
I’m not an expert but I think frite sauce is basically mayonnaise with cheaper ingredients. To call something mayonnaise (at least in the Netherlands) it must contain 70% oil and 5% egg (yolk).

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait
Edit: I can’t type
I’m really sorry I should have put a trigger warning
“Sides you dip in ketchup” covers everything in the image!
Sides that are fried
Ketchup on onion rings? Right to jail, right away.
- Shoestrings
- Tots
- Wedges (but not the ones in this picture)
- Onion Rings (they’d be higher on the list but they’re not potatoes)
- Waffle
- Curly
- Zigzag (why do they always suck so much? In theory they should be great. Also why are they always sold at public swimming pools?)
- Sweet potato
Anything in the list gets to move up +1 when chicken salt is added if the other contenders don’t, except sweet potato or onion rings.
My vote is on number 10: Röstis
5 8 7 2 4 1 6 3
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.
I wonder if they could be made better by doing that parboil-freeze-deepfry trick that makes mcdonalds fries so good
One is not like the others.
two are not like the others
Sweet Potato is at least a potato.
Potatoes are a member of the Nightshade family.
Sweet “Potatoes” are from the Morning Glory family.
Completely separate genus. Even though they can be mostly cooked and prepared similarly, they are not related.
They are cousins of the same order, Solanales
Is it? In that case, potatoes are apples by French standards. (Because it’s in the name.)
They are at least relatives.
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.
Sweet potatoes are more potatoes than onions are potatoes.
What are yams though?
They’re fucking monocots, so way the hell removed (like onions). But none of these plants even share a family, order is the closest it gets.
Not really. 👍
Most of them pictured aren’t even French cut.
I know… Potato in French is “pomme de terre”, “apple of the earth”.
Today you learned.
They’re all fried tubers. I’ll let it slide. The real travesty is no fried yuca on the list.
I don’t believe onions are tubers…
I had to look it up – allium
Damn. My b.
Fried finger food.
I like that I might remember allium this time around
Where the hell are the Cajun fries?
8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6
Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.
They are definitely by shape (mostly, sweet potato is the odd one out), not seasoning. You can add Cajun seasoning to any of those and they’d still be what shape they are. Just like I prefer curly fries, but I don’t like the ones from Arby’s because of their seasoning.
mostly, sweet potato is the odd one out
And the onion rings.
I challenge you to find me a circular fry made from potato.
While I know what you meant, I’m going with this regardless.
Those must be about McCain before his presidential run.
Ok there’s another factor here and that’s taking into account the dipping sauce if any.
Crinkle cut without sauce? Bland. With a good sauce? Those little accordion fucks hold way more than shoestring.
No. I refuse to rank my children as well.
