The Best French Fry Shapes, Ranked by Fan Votes.

French Fry Shapes

The basket hits the table, and everybody already knows which fries they’re stealing first. Maybe you want a curly fry loaded with seasoning. Maybe nothing beats the crispy edges of a waffle fry. Shoestring people want maximum crunch, while steak-fry defenders are here for the thick, fluffy middle. Then come crinkle-cut, wedges, and the rest of the potato geometry. Forget the restaurant—the only question here is which shape makes the best fry. Vote on French Fry Shapes head-to-head and see which style survives the basket.
