I think onion rings and tots need to be removed from the list as neither are potato based. Substitute latkes and hash browns in their places.

I would like onion rings but shaped like curly fries #2
- Everything else on the list
- Onion rings
What can I say, I love tubers
- Tots (The huge crunchy)
- Zigzag (The staple chicken side)
- Shoestring (Though they're so common that they get old)
- Curly (Big mass)
- Waffle (A little too wide)
Weirdos:
Wedges (The Bagpipe Theorem: Phenomenal when it's good, terrible when it's bad, it is at the top and the bottom of the list)
Sweet Potato (I tend to not like sweeter things)
Onion Rings (Please God I have ARFID that's not good crunchy)

From best to worst - 2,8,4,3,7,1,5,6
2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 7, 5.
Onion rings are either at the top or bottom of the list depending on the batch.
- 3 (tots)
- 2 (curly)
- 6 (~~zigzag~~ crinkle cut)
- 4 (waffle)
- 7 (~~wedges~~ Jo-Jo’s)
- 5 (sweet potato)
- 8 (onion rings) - tied with sweet potatoes; they’re both lost and in the wrong part of town
- 1 (shoestring) - potato chip sticks with more steps
Missing: coniques.

Fuck that potato canoes FTW
Best to worst:
-
wedges (like a mini baked potato, but better!)
-
shoestring (a tried & true classic)
-
curly (the perfect blend of potato & seasoning)
-
zigzag (sometimes can be a bit mushy)
-
tots (sometimes give me heartburn for some reason)
-
waffle (often don’t get cooked all the way, if they stick together)
-
onion rings (a decent alternative to potato based side, but I can’t eat more than a few)
-
sweet potato (they just don’t fry right. The texture gets weird and the taste is off)
Eh I'm English, all beige food is top tier!

- Waffle
- Sweet Potato (love sweet potatoes, but as fries they're mediocre at best)
- Tots (if filled with cream cheese they're #2)
- Zigzag
- Onion Rings (don't even belong on this list. Otherwise maybe #5)
Doesn't matter, is potato. And onion rings. All are awesome.
8, 2 4, 3, 1, 6, 7, 5
Assuming they onion rings are beer batter and the curly fries are from Arby's.
Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.
1-4, 6-8 YESSSSSSS 5 NO!
3,2,1,8,4,5,7,6 for quick first gut reaction

If we are rating the best type of fries then onion rings are last, being that they aren't even potato.
Doesn't say anything about potatoes.
Then I declare this debate invalid. Jalapeño poppers aren't even on the list and they're better than all of these.
Everything in the picture is commonly dipped in ketchup.
Do you dip your poppers in ketchup?
Poppers are like appetisers, these to me are sides.
2 - 6 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 8 - 5.
The wedges you can keep.
Can I have your wedges?
I feel like wedges are a vehicle for sauce and they take spice well.
Make some really spicy wedges and some garlic and chive sour cream... thats a pretty decent combo.
Crazy. Mine is almost the reverse of your order
Yes. Also yes... And yes...
Best to worst.

Where are you even getting curly or waffle fries from in this country? Feel like I've never seen them in my life.
I think you can get both at costco.
Coles sells them, but its hit and miss if they've got them or not. I think aldi sells them as well.

Onion rings, sweet potatoes, and you can have the rest.
2, the rest of the list.
