Curly, straight, crinkle, or waffle?
- Thread starter Like the hat?

Onion Rings are not fries. They should be disqualified from this discussion before that shit even begins.
That said, waffle fries are the best. Not sure how to qualify curly fries as curly fries pretty much = Arby's, so that's not so much curly fries in general being good as Arby's curly fries are good.
Curly fries are the best fries. Waffle fries are second. Crinkle fries are third. Straight fries are last.
There are wide differences in the ratio of crispy fried surface to fluffy middle across them which does alter the taste, and some like wedges and curly fries are often seasoned (some waffle fries are as well).
I definitely prefer thicker fries - such as wedges and steak fries - over say, shoestring fries. I like the fluffy middle with the crispy outside.

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Home or Steak.
Well, lets make all the same way, same seasoning, and cook them to perfection. Would the surface then make a difference in taste? I am not really sure.
I think so. The inside of a potato wedge tastes different from the surface, because of both the cooking and the seasoning. In different shapes and cuts, you're going to have different ratios of those components, resulting in a different final flavor. Texture is also a huge factor in preference, and the texture of eating McDonald's fries bears little resemblance to wedges and even curly fries, for example.
Some cuts, such as wedges, also have the skin attached and that also affects the flavor (vs. most shoestring potatoes, for example).
I can agree that thicker fries are good for rips or steak.
Still keep my opinion though, they all are roughly the same outside of, as you mentioned, thickness and thus texture inside.
I'm not as concerned about the shape so much as the flavor and the texture. I've had amazing fries in all of these shapes.
Too many mentions of wedges.
Those shouldn't be classified as fries. You might as well just eat a baked potato at that point, which taste way better anyways.

Right on. Seasoned curly fries all the way."Seasoned" curly fries.
