slo’s BONUS FRIDAY 7/12 poll - Fries 🍟

[slo]

I just heard on the news that today is National Fry Day, so I couldn’t resist doing a second poll on this topic.

In the picture showing below - which fries do you enjoy eating?
(m.c.)



For Me…..I voted for all of them. I don’t have a favorite because I like certain fries with certain things. I don’t eat them very often though, so when I do, I really enjoy them. I love McDonalds fries, but I don’t eat McDonalds anymore - I haven’t had these fries since 2019. Why do I remember this? Because the last time I ate McDonalds was at Clearwater Beach, FL in 2019.

I will eat any kind of chips(fries) - as long as they're cooked properly. Nothing worse than a thick chip that's undercooked

Basically all of them except sweet potato fries. Not a fan of sweet potatoes.

 

[Kitty 34]

I love crinkle fries!

 

[Meriweather]

I prefer regular or shoestring, but eat sweet potato the most because they are higher in fiber.
Never seen smiley ones

I almost never eat fries. Deep fried food is a killer to my reflux and something needs to be really, really good to make it worth the suffering. Fries don’t make the cut. I did smile at the picture of the smiley-face fries though. DS loved them as a kid. Good memories!

Waffle

Sweet potato
Tater tots

I don’t eat a lot of potatoes, but I do like them!

Pre pandemic I sure enjoyed fries. Always plain, not a ketchup fan or seasoned salt. My very favorites were steak and crinkleccut, no skin on either. As a kid I especially also enjoyed tater tots

At home, I normally eat fries about once a year and they better be Nathan’s or why bother?
When in Belgium or France, bring on the pommes frites and don’t spare the mayonnaise. I hope the UK can live up to my expectations when I visit next and be sure to leave the malt vinegar

Like Slo, different ones depending on the meals. And how tired I am.

We make fries, in air fryer. Take raw potato, cut with knife, soak in cold water for a bit. Drain, dump into air fryer, spray with oil. sprinkle spicy steak seasoning. The grand kids like it with just plain salt.

A few months ago I made a tray in a regular oven with an air fryer rack (looks like a cooling rack for cookies) , my son in law thought these are really good, what brand are they?

I like most fries, but for whatever reason, waffle fries and curly fries aren't as appealing. When it comes to fast food fries, Whataburger is my current fave. Burger King and Wendy's used to have great fries, but they messed with them a while back and now they're just meh. I've never been big on McDonalds. Oh, and I really like sweet potato fries.

I also like fries with "stuff." We're currently at a hotel in Louisiana due to the hurricane and I had fries covered with cheese and shrimp etouffee last night.

Standard & Curly but they Must be crisp ! Hate soggy fries

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

Sweet potato fries are my favorite.
Next comes standard, crinkle, waffle, curly (doesn't really matter, they are all equal imo).
Steak fries can be good if they are cooked right.
Tater tots are probably last choice (though I do like sweet potato tots a lot and have them when they're on a local breakfast buffet).
I would not choose smiley fries.
Home fries are breakfast food, with some melted cheese, sauteed onions and peppers, and some chipotle tabasco sauce.

 

[Forevermarypoppins]

I really like waffle fries. FRESH CUT!
Seriously though, it's the quality of the potato and oil that makes the fry! (and seasoning)!!

 

[Praying Colonel]

Like my children, I love all french fry types equally. They each have their special qualities.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I very rarely eat any of them anymore, and never at home. My favorites would be steak fries or tots, but if given a choice in a restaurant, will opt for a baked potato instead.

 

[mikehn]

Royal Farms western fries dipped in gravy

 

[mumto3girls]

McDonald’s fries are the best. I also like tator tots.

 

[MIGrandma]

One thing I love about going to the county fairs in the summer is indulging in fresh, hand cut while we watch, skin on fries with salt and malt vinegar

Also love thin shoestring fries, and curly. McDonalds used to be best, but now I prefer Wendy’s, and Arby’s curly fries too.
