imo, Carl’s Jr. has best seasoned curly fries
buy arbies from store in freezer section for a close alternative
McDonald best standard fries
but won’t pass up any fries

for me, it's waffle fries with cinnamon

>>18743533
>crinkle fags not allowed

But crinkles are me fave, lad.

What are the crispy, thin/skinny ones called? I like those.
We call it "potato hay" but idk the English name.

>>18743533
I love that arbys sell their curlys in the grocery stores
small and large bags too
and they are just as good in the oven as the deep fryer
they are the best

>>18743566
>We call it "potato hay"
Heh. What language is that? Anyway, their style is shoestring.

>>18743533

Crinkle cut fries are always mediocre compared to any other type. They are never crispy nor flavorful and I swear they must leak heat or something because I've never gotten them hot either. Crinkle cuts fries are so mediocre that I've started using them as a litmus test for people's taste when they say they like them. Every acquaintance or friend I know who claims they like crinkle cut has pisspoor taste and opinions on food, utter slop. You would be surprised how consistent this litmus test is when applied on the people around you!

I have deduced that crinklefags are in a state of deferred childhood trauma where the frozen crinkle cut fries were served to them for dinner in-between watching their father beat their mother, or maybe their ghetto's burger spot only served the cheapest frozen fries they could find. Either way they are to be pitied.

>hurr what's better then hmmm?
Shoestring, curly, waffle-cut, standard, homefries, steak in that order.

>>18743566
shoestring

>>18743622
gtfoh with this shit

I go for the fried clams

Have moar fried clams

Make way for the best frozen fries you can buy.

>>18743591
A bit thinner than that. The ones in that pic would be normal fries, no? At least that's what's normal for where I'm from.

>language
Italian, but it's highly regional. Outside of the Naples area, it's not commonly called potato hay but "thin/fine fries" instead, if they even know wtf I'm talking about.
I think it's cuz of Naples' historic links with Iberia since it seems that Portuguese calls it the same thing (paglia di patate in Italian, batata palha in Portuguese).

>>18743733
step aside for the real best

>>18743736
Yeah steak and shake serves that type. They get crispy real quick. They're often called shoestring. I like hay better. Makes sense.

>>18743736
Potatos are native to the Americas so it doesn't really matter what fucking Italians or Portuguese punks call it

>>18743753
BASED

>>18743753
>she said, fatly, in an indo-european, too ignorant to understand her own fat irony

>>18743753
You do know Brazil speaks Portuguese, is in the Americas and is closer to where potatoes are from than the United States, right?

>>18743751
Shoestring seems wrong since the ones in >>18743591 just look like regular fries to me, but I'll take your word for it and thanks for the info.
We usually have them as a side to thick stews since they're a pain to pick up with a stick (fried food on the go in Naples is eaten with sticks, pic related). How do you serve potato shoestrings?

>>18743804
You stupid shit I never wrote that tates were from the USA, I wrote the Americas.
What are you some kind of euro degenerate?

>>18743818
That's nice, dear.

>>18743804
>cultural appropriation detected

>>18743827
Not chopsticks. We just stab shit with them.

I like Chick fil A's waffle fries, pretty tasty. Also them Bojangles cajun fries

>>18743533
steak cut with the ridges, deep fried

>>18743533
I remember the first time I had seasoned curlies. Ultimate bacon cheeseburger and large curlies from Jack in the box when I was like 11. Life changing

>>18743804
You do know that anyone from Brasil uses an s for Brasil, only cunts spell it with a z?
That makes you a double degenerate.

>>18743924
calm down Karen

I want to make cheesy fries, so what kind of cheese should I use? I have provolone, cheddar, and american cheeses and I'm not going out tonight to get anything else so what's your recommendations fellow anons?

>>18743948
What's to calm down about, I wasn't the one that couldn't Brasil correctly. And what's with the "karen" shit, where is that from reddit?

>>18743948
Seriously is that stupid "karen" shit supposed to mean anything except yourself?

Karen is mad lol

>>18743977
And anyone using that term is a fucking flaming faggot homo

The shape doesn't matter to me. However I'll share my all time fave fry seasoning recipe sans specific measurements with y'all, for anyone curious. I eyeball the ingredients and just go by taste testing.

Salt (good amount)
Sugar (about 1/4 the amount of salt)
MSG (just a little bit)
Paprika
Cayenne
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Black pepper
Allium ash (I make at home by burning onion and garlic scraps and powdering the charred remains)

I swear this is a god tier seasoning when you strike the right balance.

Curly

>>18743804
Shoestrings are still proper “fries” that you eat with your fingers
At the point where you cross into using a fork we refer to them as “hash browns”
Is this pic closer to your potato hay?

Perfect texture

>>18743986
I was with you till the ash…
What does that add to the flavor profile?
Not an attack, actually curious.

>>18744019
Smokiness! Better than liquid smoke. I learned about allium ash from reading about it's use in Uruguayan cuisine. Its better than it sounds, you'd think it would just taste like charcoal, but it's a great smokey aromatic flavor when you make it right. A little goes a long way though, so I use it very sparingly.

the fried in saturated fats type

>>18744058
it literally just clicked in my head that "Ore-Ida" means oregon-idaho...

>>18744013
I've looked around at multiple stores around my area and no one carries them, feels bad man

>>18743924
Unless you say Suomi, Deutschland, Magyarország, Cymru, Zhongguo, Hrvatska, Masr, Akullirmiutavik, Shqipëria, Hayastan, Éire, Nippon, Urdun, Hanguk, Cho'seon, Xianggang, Eesti, Sakartvelo, Bharat, Lietuva, Maghrib, and Aotearoa, you should realise that we're speaking English and therefore using the English name and spelling is proper for Anon to use and no number of your tears will change that.

>>18744010
Nope, it's >>18743736
They are very, very crispy and most commonly made at home since they're much easier (and faster) to make than thicker cuts, which are most often eaten as takeaway (again, with a stick, pic related).

>>18743688
I posted the lie they show you on the menu. The crinkle cut fries are never as good as they look.
>>18744058
Take crinkle cut out of good, they're NOT GOOD

Yes lads

>>18743533
my grandma would use a potato-peeler to thin slice an entire potato
it was the best thing ever
