    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.
