Potatoes are a beloved food that provide many delicious snacks like chips, mashed potatoes and the crowd favorite, french fries. There are so many variations of the fry, but here are the top six.
- Waffle
The structure of a waffle fry is nearly infallible. The grid pattern provides just enough soft interior to balance the crispy, fried exterior of the potato. Each fry has the perfect texture with every bite.
- Curly
The springy shape of these fries is just so fun; the curls form clumps of fry that make it enjoyable to bite into. The variety of shapes in an order of curly fries is unmatched. Soft, coily fries and crispy, semi circle fries are included in this wide range of shapes. Each batch and fry is unique!
- Standard
The classic cut is always a good way to go. The standard fry is typically saltier and longer than other fries, which is perfect for those who like to dip their fries in different sauces. Standard fries also provide a consistent balance between the soft, potatoey insides to the crispy, crunchy outside.
- Sweet potato
An underrated pick, the sweet potato fry provides the needed variety in taste and texture within the fry game. Instead of the salty cover up work done by fast food friers, the authentic flavor of the sweet potato shines through. This is a hit or miss for most people, but sweet potato fries can be a less aggressive flavor of fry, especially when paired with ranch.
- Extra thin
The extra thin fry is similar to the standard fry, but extra thin. This fry is essentially a sliver of potato that has been fried and salted disproportionately more than its insides. This crispy bake is perfect for the crunch lovers.
- Smiles
Fries in the shape of smiley faces are simply nostalgic. These are an at home staple that no childhood should go without, although they might have to sacrifice their taste buds. Smiley fries’ flavor is never a guaranteed success but a worthwhile risk.
