Crinkle cut, steak fry, curly fry, with skins/without…
What is your favorite kind of french fry and why?
crinkle cut. No skins. Lots of Ketchup and salt.
WHY?? Well, why not!
Hard to find, but I do love the “waffle-cut” style. Of the readily available types, though, put me down for steak fries with skins.
I am a “waffle cut” man too, Chick-fil-a is the king of fries, but in any other cut please leave the skins ON.

2 fry threads in a row now, are you trying to make/keep me fat?
Do Tater-Tots count?
I love steak fries with peel still on. The kind you can get at the corner gas station. Each bit is substantial, not like those pussy shoestrings.
Ditto. Around here, steak fries are those thick slabs of potato (compared to ordinary fries) about an inch wide and 1/2 inch thick I love those, but I also like jo-jos, which are also called potato wedges. They are roughly equivalent to what you’d get if you cut a small potato into 1/4 sections and fried it.
mmm… seasoned curly fries…
I like steak fries, but I am also a fan of waffle cut fries.
UNCLVINY - I have really been in a french fry mood lately. It came to mind when I had a dream the other night that I owned a french fry restaurant. I sold only fried potato products and a variety of dipping sauces and toppings. MMMM.
I’m not fat though. Yet…
Waffle cut fries here too. Just the thought of them are making me hungry. Of course, not having eaten anything yet today could also be a factor…
They are not fries, but don’t be talkin’ bad about my shoestring potatoes, I ALWAYS take a few cans camping as they are cheap, indestructible and oh so good! (with beer).

With all the waffle fry fans, I’m surprised they’re not more readily available. I don’t eat fries often, but when I do my preference is seasoned waffle fries.
McDonalds knows how to make fries, if nothing else. 
If the fries are slender and crisp like McDonald’s, I like them plain (hot and fresh, plenty of salt).
If they are fat and fluffy, I want lots of ketchup, preferably Heinz.
I like any french fries that are not made by Burger King. Whatever Burger King did a few years ago to their french fries ruined them forever.
Sadly there seems to be a convention in Colorado Springs where french fries are rare as hen’s teeth outside of fast food restaurants and when one does acquire french fries from a fast food restaurant they are decidedly unsalted.
crinkle-cut. Braum’s is the only place I know of that serves them around here.
waffle cut. or curly with seasoning. but reasonably skinny, well-fried bordering on crunchy otherwise.
Gotta go with curly fries, but only if they are done right. Hate it when I get curly fry fragments, but love it when they are nice long spirals of crunchy, greasy goodness.
If curly fries not available, then put me down for tater tots!!
Cottage fries!
From Ore-Ida. Difficult but not impossible to find. They are round, flat and corrugated, like very thick, unbaked ripple chips.
My mom always used to think I meant waffle fries. I mean, even after I described them, in detail, she still showed me a bag and said, “But they call them waffle fries!” Fool of a Took! Does she not know the difference between corrugated and cross-hatched!
On that note, I don’t like waffle fries. It’s hard to get enough ketchup on them, and they’re usually too crispy for my taste. Other than that, I like crispers (small rods with breading on them), tater tots, and Crispy Crowns (half-sized tater tots).
I like crinkle-cut and straight fries equally. I just don’t like them, any of them, fried so fast and hot that they’re practically shells.
