What Kind of Fries do You Prefer?

[TPD]

Seems to be a bit of a debate in another thread over fries so cast your vote here.

Crispy on the outside - softer inside



also - Chick Fil A Waffle Fries

Ugh, I hate waffle fries. Too potatoey (which is a word, I just made it up). Thin and crispy fries for me. Second would be crispy krinkle fries, and alternately crispy tots. Anything else, I'll have the side salad.

Where's my steak fries?

 

[RoseRed]

I do like the Five Guys fries. And McDonald's, but I hardly ever go there.

Red Robin usually does a pretty decent job of crisping up the steak fries. But they’re not perfect at it.

There’s been a couple of times they came out like wet noodles.

CD Cafe. Ask for extra crispy and boy do they do it right!

Crispy fresh cut fries with salt and vinegar to dip.

Oh yum. Arthur Treachers used to have the best malt vinegar for their fish and chips.

See, it depends on what I'm having them with, my mood, so many factors.

Boardwalk style fries that the 7th District Optimist cooks up.

Boardwalk were my favorite for decades

Mine.

I cook them in peanut oil in my deep frier, and how ever I want them that day.

I'm a curly fries person. The wife prefers crinkle fries.

I just want them crispy and not floppy. Nothing worse than a floppy tater.

Seriously.

You might as well have ordered the mashed potatoes.

I like the kind of fries McDonald's makes, however you name them.

The only problem with McD fries is, they're best - and really, ONLY good - right away. When they're still hot. Afterwards, once they're cold, not so much and even air-frying them at home never re-captures the fresh out of the fryer taste.

I say "problem" because I know this, wolf down the fries and realize - I've got no room in the belly for anything else. I've filled up on fries, even when I order medium size.

My step-grandfather once decided to deep fry what I think we're Birds Eye brand fries. They were mashed and formed sort of like cheese doodles with lengthwise ridges. Really hard to explain because I was too young to actually care at the time. The were meant for the oven, but he deep fried them to perfection. Just the right balance of potato, crunch, grease, and salt. Not really a fry, but man were they righteous.

Back to the poll, crispy shoestrings are my pick.

Yeah, I don't care how "unhealthy" it is, fries (and tots) get fried, not baked.

My fiance is pretty good with mini tots in the air fryer, but we don't eat them very often now.
