Opinion French Fries or Sweet Potatoe Fries

[Hektor]

I just had some Sweet Potato Fries with a chilli cheese burger and it was DE-LI-CIOUS, but i noticed how SPF fill you up a lot faster than normal fries.

I also think the flavor of sweet potato fries is a lot more dominant than normal fries and doesn't go well with everything.

For the purpose of the poll, curly and ruffled fries are considered normal fries because they're from the same potato.

While I do like me some sweet potato fries, I pretty much had a lot of time with regular potato fries so yeah, regular fries.

Sweet potato is gross.

 

[fsdood]

sweet potato is healthy, but man I'm not used to it compared to regular fries. Beef chili sweet fries is amazing tho

Baked potatoes

Sweet potato is gross.

God damn it, where the heck is the dislike button.

Sweet Potato fries are king. Serve them with a side of ranch or honey mustard and who cares how good the "main course" is?

Brutal post.

French fries for me, I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato is gross.

At this rate I don't think I will ever disagree with you Naroh.

Anyway, pretty much this. French fries are the perfect fries. Miss me with that sweet potato thing.

Apparently working taste buds missed you in the womb as well..... Its always a shame to read about another poster with failbuds.

They say your tastes change as you get older. I'm turning 39 in about a month and a half and I still HATE sweet potatoes.

I'll go for SPF regularly as they're different and in my mind a bit healthier but i do think they're disappointing so i prefer Chips or French Fries. They have to be hot, crispy outside and fluffy inside which is where SPF fall down. Also, Chips go with everything where SPF don't.

 

[NarohDethan]

I like french fries but if I have them too often I get grossed out. Especially if they're bad

Sweet potato anything trumps regular potato version, no exceptions.
No exceptions

I was a little worried but it was just a matter of vocal minority. I approve of this poll result.
Sweet potato fries, honey mustard, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together.

Normal fries with Trader Joes organic ketchup

Sweet Potato Fries with the right sauce are great, but not so much by themselves. Regular Fries can be great with a mild seasoning, a sauce, or something like Parmesan Truffle Fries. I'm not sure what was in the sauce, but I've had some amazing Sweet Potato Fries at a fish taco restaurant before. Regular Fries are usually a safer bet though.

I like both, but with different proteins. I only like Sweet Potato with Chicken or Fish, if you have it with beef the meal feels too "heavy" overall.

Regular fries are pretty amazing though just because they go well with pretty much anything, even ice cream, and can be seasoned in such a wide variety...

 

[NingenJanai]

I like both, but I prefer french fries.

 

[BlueOdin]

Normal fries because I never had good sweet potato fries. Only from some store brand and they were disgusting until heavily salted.

 

[Firewithin]

id rather have freedom fries

Yes, I went to a place in Central NJ that had "Freedom Fries" on the menu. I was like 14 in 2003 but I was aware enough of the world to cringe.

Never again.

It's funny that it's called "French fries", because afaik they have their origin in Belgium. I think the difference is that Belgium fries are a bit thicker, making them soft inside and crunchy at the outside.

And we don't eat fries without mayonnaise here.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I always remember the odd looks i'd get in the Netherlands when i was a kid and had to ask for no mayo at every meal.
Mayo, not even once.

Gimme dem Belgian Fries though!

As a frenchman, I am totally prepared to concede and let Belgium be the creators of this godly treat, but... if I remember some stupid TV from a few years back, it’s still unclear.

And, not to antagonize you, my friend and neighbor, but I wouldn’t point at the thickness of the fries as a differentiator, every fries lover know the value of a good thick one, wait...
Well, as I was saying, I think the main difference is in the type of fat you use to fry. I have been dying to taste it that way, but good luck trying to find it in France.

Well to be honest, both the thickness and the fat used is different in each fritterie. Belgian top chefs say you need to use bull fat, but most people use plant oil.

According to my wife, the difference is rather that Belgian fries are baked two times: first at 150°C, and after cooling down again at 170°C. But perhaps this is how it's done in France as well?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

mmmmm, double cooked chips are the best!

I’m certain it’s not the norm here, but yeah I had heard about this double baking thing.
Put those double baked bull fries IN MY VEINS !

Fries with mayo are delicious.

Fries with chili-mayo are even more delicious.
