Regular Fries vs. Sweet Potato Fries...



Either way.....

bows22

I take French fries very seriously!

number one is regular fries - no seasoning - think McDonald’s or the kind that they serve at Bob Evans (tried to think of a place that’s everywhere as an example)

number two is sweet potato fries, but only with honey mustard to dip in. 

seasoned and “fresh cut” fries come in at number three. Not my fave!

Both!! No such thing as as a bad fry! Waffle fries are my ultimate favorite, no matter what type of potato they are made from.

@bows22 I love dipping my fries in honey mustard! I do ranch with my sweet potato fries too. Also agreed that McDonalds fries are bomb.

oh man, i am an equal opportunity fry lover. 
sweet potato fries with horseradish or mayo to dip in = YUM
french fries with mayo or spicy mayo to dip in = YUM
waffle fries with honey mustard = YUM
truffle fries = MAJOR YUM
honorable mentions for zucchini fries. good, but potato all the way!

@bows22 oh I love seasoned fries!! Especially ones that are with a little bit of parmesan and garlic (not that I can even have that right now on my diet!).

I'm all about the regular fries. I used to be a big fan of curly fries but not so much anymore. DH likes sweet potato fries. I'll have like a few and then be done with them. Maybe it's because no one ever salts sweet potato fries or something?

@kpearse99 tomorrow's GTKY should be what our favorite form of potato is because I'm ALL about hash browns

kpearse99

Damn, I should have went with my gut and posted a GTKY about which cut of fry is your favorite! (Crinkle, steak, waffle, curly, shoestring, tots, regular....etc) But I thought was too many hahahaha I'll have to bank that one for later in the week!!

I am on the same page as all of you as far as not turning down a fry, ever! I will order sweet potato fries if they are an option but I LOOOOOOOOOVE regular fries too!!

@inthewoods23 I was actually thinking of that one for this morning too! hahaha So yes, make that tomorrow's for sure!! (Mashed, tots, hashbrowns (shredded or in patty form) roasted, baked, fries.... oh the possibilities are endless!)

So much fry love today!  I love french fries, pretty much any way. But, like @inthewoods23, I'm not really a huge curly fry fan. I will do sweet potato fries if they are crispy, but if I could choose I would probably go with regular fries over sweet potato. I've been making "fries" in the air fryer, and the usually turn out really good *drools*

I love all fries but definitely need something to dip them in (ketchup is fine with fast food fries, but ranch is preferable with thicker fries and especially with sweet potato fries). 

bows22

@legallykate Totally agree with ketchup for fast food fries and ranch for thicker fries. Red Robin fries + ranch is amazing! Definitely would not be the same with ketchup 

emeraldduchess

I love both, but I usually choose regular fries, unless the restaurant I am at has REALLY good sweet potato fries.

Ok look, I'm from the Midwest, but RANCH with french fries???

legallykate

Also I don't know how I failed to mention this before but fries dipped in a Frosty is the very best. 

@inthewoods23

@bows22 Red Robin fries in their campfire sauce is AMAZING!!!

kpearse99

@inthewoods23 I'm not from the midwest but I don't like my fries in ranch either!  If ranch is the only dipping option, than I'll do it, but otherwise, no thanks!

kpearse99

@legallykate Yes!!!! Fries in a Wendy's Frosty is sooooo good!!!

inthewoods23

@legallykate yes! Fries in the frosty are amazing!!! I am so with you on that one!

runningoncookies

@inthewoods23 I had never heard of anyone dipping their fries in ranch until I went to college, and now it’s my favorite thing to dip my sweet potato fries in! So good!!

@legallykate i haven’t had Wendy’s in years, but fries and a frosty was basically all I ever got there!! Such a good combo. 

emeraldduchess

I already told DH that we are getting McDonald's fries after our FET. I don't care if it's an urban legend that they help, it's happening anyway. 

kpearse99

@emeraldduchess I never heard of that!! I would do it too then haha

I am appalled at fries dipped in a frosty lol. I can only eat a few french fries. Very blehh to me. I'll dip in ketchup or a fancy aoili but not just ranch (I'm just not a fan of ranch, though). I also hate fast food fries (even in-n-out's, they're gross and soggy). I LOVE sweet potato fries. They are amazing and I could eat them all day every day. Chili powder on the sweet potatoes with a lime yogurt dipping sauce is my favorite savory but I'll also do cinnamon on them for a dessert type snack.

This is so hard... slight edge to sweet potato fries for me because they are "rarer," but honestly if I could only ever eat one type again I'd pick regular. Love dipping sweet potato fries in a ketchup-sriracha mixture... not anti-ranch in general, but doesn't appeal to me as a condiment for fries. 

kadeephd

I'm with @kvh22 on this one.  Sweet potato fries all the way, and ranch is blegh on fries or in any other scenario.

chindimples04

Sweet potato fries in syrup! 🤤
Regular fries in literally anything but ketchup. 

Both are amazing and serve their purpose differently. 

ashaislurking

I will never turn down a potato. Ever. I agree that ranch with fries is weird to me (also a Midwesterner) and that Red Robin fries with campfire sauce is 🔥🔥. I also like mixing mayo and ketchup to dip fries in.
