    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Onion rings > tots > sweet potato > everything else

    And fuck ketchup, combine one part mayonnaise and one part BBQ sauce to dip that shit in

      ketchups good with an equal amount of chili pequin sauce mixed in. I learned this at a mexican restaurant that also served burgers and fries for some reason, and haven’t been able to go back to any other fry sauce since

    1st: Curly

    2nd: Waffle

    3rd: Shoestring

    4th: Wedges

    5th: Tater Tots

    6th: Zig Zag

    7th: Onion Rings

    8th: Sweet Potato Fries

    I genuinely love all of these, and struggled to rank them. Just a total potato gremlin.

    These rankings also depend a lot on the source. So I just went with the best I’ve tasted of each.
