which fries are the best fries?

>> No.15419712

waffle fries
Why:
>Optimal meat to fry ratio
>Just enough potato meat while also having the crisp
>Large enough surface area for wide amount of dips or toppings even
>Cool ass unconventional shape, unlike the rest of these straight edge fags or *ahem* chips

P.S
you are retarded if we can't agree

I'm disappointed in you, OP. I'm very disappointed. Binging and purging myself was the first trick I learned. It didn't satisfy Jack. Did you really think it would satisfy me? I have walked across the parking lot of the Culver’s. I have eaten meals so large and so fast, they could hardly be said to have occurred at all. But you, OP, you're just a fry man. The world's best fry poses no more threat to me than does its best onion ring.

what the fuck went wrong? The crinkle adds more surface area which should give a crispier fry than an equivalently sized smooth fry, but it always tastes like shit. even steak fries are usually better

I've been thinking of making my own "crisps" like these, but I'm not sure if I should prepare the potatoes beforehand somehow. I'm supposed to fry them when they're raw, right? Maybe I'm confused, because I heard somewhere that you'd need to boil the potatoes firsthand, but don't they mush easily lile that? It sounds really silly to boil them unless you're using some really dense potatoes, I would assume that they'd become rubbery, if they don't fall apart completely.

They're not baked, they're not fried. They're roasted potato slices. I do wish Dumbericans would learn the correct cooking terminology.

>> No.15422668

>>15422579
They're better with a blanching, whether that's a pre-roast, a quick parboil, or a pre-fry, but if they're thin enough to cook through without burning or taking on grease, they're alright from raw too.

not all fries are created equal and that includes waffle fries

it is important that the exterior of the fry has a rough semi porous starch coating prior to frying so it gets that pefect level of crisp and oil retention without being soggy.

Soaking fries properly can achieve this but some places goes as far as putting their fries in an ultrasonic cleaner to pit the surface with micro holes.

Curly fries are my favorite, but I think that's because they're the only ones people actually season, and I have no idea why that is. All the others just get maybe some salt. And I never really got why people love tater tots so much.

They're not pictured in OP, but I also love yucca fries. The Whole Foods near me usually has them.
