Waffle cut are a novelty. Crinkle cut are the best. Fight me.

    Trying to decide the best french fry is like trying to pick up different pieces of shit in the off-leash dog park and try to pick which one smells best. They’re all still crap.

    Finally a REAL unpopular opinion!

    A crinkle fry is just a tater tot that won’t commit.

    Steak fries are the superior form of spuds.

      Thank you for “tater tot that won’t commit.” I legit love you for that, because I also love tots. BUT, they are definitely NOT fries. Too much potato mush in steak fries. Maybe if they’re double battered, but still. Crinkle cut is an ideal crust to potato guts ratio.

        You’re welcome. A respectable unpopular opinion merits a respectable response.

        Potato gut ratio difference is negligible. If you boil the potato parts (no matter how you cut them) then let them dry that releases starch that makes for a better crunchier skin when frying. That’s the biggest difference between textures, taste can have multiple factor differences that are unrelated to texture.

    Crinkle cut is fine has long as they are thick. The ones that are super thin suck.

    Thick meaning 1/4 of an inch (.635 centimeter) by 1/4 inch and a minimum of 3 inches long (7.62 centimeter). Anything smaller and I want nothing to do with it.

    I mean, I’ll fight you for fun.

    Listen worm! All know that a waffle cut exposes the greatest surface area to the heat source. This results in the most optimum caramelization, you spavined cur!

    The crowned crispness of the waffle cut is superior in all ways, you petaQ!

    Waffle cut! For the glory of the Empire! Death to all crinkle cut worms!

    All depends on mood. I prefer classic McD style fries to crinkle most of the time, but sometimes crinkle hit the spot for me.

        There are people who understand and appreciate good steak, and you’re the guy arguing that we are wrong because we just haven’t had the right ground beef.
