So whats your favorite form of Deep Fried Tater?

[RidgeHunter]

This thread calls for one of my favorite scenes in movie history.



My favorite would probably be my own fries. 60 year-old cast iron dutch oven, open flame, copious amounts of oil heated to match lighting temps. Sprinkled in a bit of sugar a la Gomer Pyle. Sometimes I'll leave about half teh peel on each tater when peeling, but other times I peel them nekkid. Depends on my mood.

Technically not deep fried, but fried potatoes covered in gravy is second runner up. Goes well with chicken fried backstrap for dinner, or any artery-clogging meal I can scratch up for breakfast (such as bacon and half a thick-ass rib eye charcoaled the night before and chunked and fried in bacon grease with an omelet and a mason jar of chocolate milk that you make first and put in the freezer while cooking).

If I ever start gaining weight, I'm screwed.

Crinkle cut like they have a braums allows for more surface area on which to make crisp on the outside and deposit salt and ketchup.

Crinkle cut for the win.

I always like those ketchup mops they have at Braums.

I like me some Chick-fil-a waffle fries.

I get freaking ticked when there are too many of butt-end pieces in my fries from Chick-fil-a. I need my waffle pattern for maximum tastiness!!

The red-robin steak fries are darn tasty too.

When I was in college, I'd go to red robin, order a burger, fill up on fries, then get a to go box and eat the burger later. Two meals for one price.

We use waffle fries at the bar to make chili cheese fries. They REALLY hold the fixins well.

Chik-Fil-A had sweet potato waffle fries for a short time. Those were outstanding!

I like my own french fries, regular cut, FRESH, soaked in cold water for a couple hours, ( after rinsing off the excess starch) , then fried to a light golden brown in peanut oil, in a Fry Grandaddy. There used to be a little cafe in Blair, that had some really good fries.
