How do you not like steak fries? They're like little baked potatoes with a crispy shell.

>>9965205

Wedges are truly the worst. They're too big, the potato flavor overwhelms everything else, you can't season them properly. They're shitty middle-ground between a baked potato and french fries - they're garbage.

>>9965164
Steak fries and wedges are fine. If they are bad you're making them wrong. Sometimes having a nice crispy shell on taters is just the thing. Sometimes it's something else.

>>9965164
A&W fries from the 60s. They were battered shoestring. Golden brown and crisp

>>McDonald's fries (10 minutes after coming out of the frier)
If you have a convection oven you can keep them warm for a while without them getting gross and soggy.

>>9965164
Pretty much correct. Shoestring is the ultimate form of the french fry. Wedges are lazy fries, and they are disgusting because they don't get cooked through all the way. Undercooked wedges make me gag, it's disgusting. Just shove a cock in your mouth if you can't get enough of the feeling of hard potato penetrating your throat.

>>9965164
Shoestrings suck balls, get cold too quick.

>>9965765

You must eat slowly. Are you a retarded adult?

>>9965631
this the correct power rankings OP.

>>9965164
kfc wedges imo are god tier

I like crinkle cut. Good surface area to volume ratio.

Also a fan of those smaller, seasoned wedges that are usually orange.

where can i buy this

>>9966241
If you're a burger, try hot dog shops or carnival vendors.
Of you're a limey, try a chip shop.

Speaking of carnivals, the Carnie Brick is the apex way to order just fries.

>>9965275
If you're complaining about the potato flavor in fries you probably should just be drinking the oil they cook them in.

>>9965736
Well done, you held the key all along!

>>9966083
Despite your utter lack of descriptive skill I know exactly what you're talking about

>>9965275
Cant let that potato flavor interfere with that fine A grade American grease

Shoe string Is garbage you dumbass faggot. Kill yourself

mashed potatoes > fries

honestly, the older I get the more I crave a side of these with my steak/burger.
Infinitely more satisfying than fries.

>>9965739
Haha oh wow can’t believe people actually like shoestring. At least I know someone’s getting enjoyment from those shit fries at Steak ‘n Shake I guess. Glad for you anons

Although I don't hate wedges to the degree OP does, I agree on the points he uses to justify his hate.
Thinner wedges are alright, but often they end up being way too thick, ruining the kind of taste that I'm going for if I'm ordering fries to begin with.
Too much soft, unseasoned, white-hot potato in the middle after the initially satisfying crunch of the surface.

Shoestring fries have the opposite problem. No substance past the initial crunch and all flavor aside the grease is nowhere to be found, making them really easy to get tired of even with a small portion.

In the end, there's a reason why the classic french fries cut is the most widely used. It's just the best.

>>9965164
Wedges and steak fries are superior faggot

>>9965409
>>9965367
You are making them wrong.

>>9968118
Along with every restaurant that has ever served them to me I guess

>>9965164
You're disgusting. Bougie fuck.

>>9965164
How the fuck do you eat shoestring?

>>9968834

>Of you're a limey, try a chip shop.

No, we don't have Tornadoes here. Chip shops sell chips.

>>9965736
Fuck you you dirty nigger fucking fuck. Smiley potatoes are literally god's gift to earth you massive homosexual cock guzzling faggot.
You know why I know you haven't ever gotten laid is because your disdain for the simple pleasures of a smiley fries plate covered with cheese, sour cream and bacon bits.
Just go fucking kill yourself you fucking nigger.

>>9965164
I don't even know man.
If you put any kind of cheesy beef combination on my starches then you've done something right.

>>9965164
>"French" Fries
you mean freedom fries?

>>9968999
I don't agree with your language, but I do agree that smiley fries are fantastic.

It depends on what you eat fries for. If you eat fries for the potato, you like wedge. If you eat fries for the crispyness, salt, and lightness, you like regular fries or thinner
