Do you like your fries golden or well done? I kind of like them well done.

Also, where do you get the best fries you ever had?

[Foster]

I like them golden, and a little salty.

can't name a place where I get the best fries because it seems they're cook different on any given day.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i like 'em golden..i like it mushy inside. I like my fries thick too (like steak fries), i hate really thin crunchy french fries

and i always get a side of honey mustard sauce

I LOVE THE HONEY MUSTARD SAU

No poll?


Golden, but I do enjoy when one or two well-done ones sneak their way in. Favorites are from here: http://www.roadfood.com/photos/1671.jpg

crispy, well-done any day.

[razorboy]

I like my fries oniony and beer batter dipped.

[epo]

Crispy is the only way to go.

[Gvac]

Crispy, well done fries are vile.

Whoever likes their fries crunchy also likes their steaks well done so they taste like shoe leather.

Fucking creeps.

Could you be any more hurtful?

Ordering a steak more done than "Medium Rare" is a mortal sin.

Finally! Something we agree on!

[drusilla]

famous daves has the best fries. i don't even know if they can be considered regular fries cause they are more like wedges. but they are best when crispy on the outside & nice & soft on the inside.

as for regular fries i like them regular. not well done or rare. & fries belong with ketchup. dipped in. not slathered all over making a mess.

& i like my steaks medium rare.

[Mullenax]

Well done; I don't like it when my fast food fries taste like potatoes. Home fries can be golden.

[sailor]

and a mix of 2/3 ketchup and 1/3 sriracha is the best dip for fries ever.

Lock it up.

[Puggle_kicker]

Crispy fo sure. Best fries Ive ever had was at a brewery in Tempe, AZ. Four Peaks. Good beer too.

[Jujubees2]

Crispy. The browner the better...

[King Hippos Bandaid]

no sir, u like golden, overdone is shriveled and gives you less potato

[hedges]

There is a diner not too far from here that makes the best fries. They may be fresh cut.
I like fries with brown gravy. Awesome.

[reillyluck]

Delicious but a novelty act. Thats like comparing to apples and saying applesauce is the best.

[Lady Resin]

Well done. I'm one of those people who don't like certain textures. I hate potatoy fry.

:thumbup: I couldn't agree more with everything you wrote....

[MacVittie]

I like mine more on the golden side, although this really isn't an either/or question like frosting on a browning; there's a whole world of middle ground. Perhaps we could develop a ranking system for crispiness much like the Mohs Scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness) for mineral hardness.

[sr71blackbird]

I debated adding options because I know there are several variations on how they could be made. But in general I prefer slight burning with some foods.

Best Fries: Bouchon at the Venitian (Thomas Keller's)

I have never had better fries in my life. They are double-fried in peanut oil... sea salt.. unreal... I will never go to Vegas again without going to Bouchon while I am there.

[Death Metal Moe]

It's gotta be golden brown with a little mushy potato on the inside.

ANYONE can make the fries well done, it's easy. They're usually drier and you get a bunch of those crunchy fries at the bottom that are all brown.

Same with bacon. You gotta slow cook bacon to the point JUST beyond raw where the red meat is easy to bite through and the fat is just golden enough NOT to be stringy in any way. Delicate, delicious bacon.

Sorry, what were we talking about?

[carlygirl]

I only like slightly soggy fries. Especially from McDonalds. However, has anyone else noticed that McDonalds fries now taste like crap? Well, more crappy than usual.

[Chimee]

I like the golden ones that are mushy on the inside without crossing over into soggy. I hate anything soggy and when I eat a french fry, I don't want crunchy, at that point you're just eating a chip.

[ToiletCrusher]

shaken with salt and vinegar and then eaten with a fork (beach fries)

[A.J.]

Golden. Well done might as well be potato chips.

And waffle fries are shit.

[Freakshow]

the only thing I like golden are my showers...

God DAMN Moe, you've got the soul of a poet.











(And now I want some bacon.)

Oh yummy...the best thing about going to LJS is soakin' those fries with vinegar.

[razorboy]

It has to be malt vinegar.

[KingGeno]

I like my fries crispy on the outside. Steak fries are all right.

But the greatest fries around are New Jersey Boardwalk Fries. Nothing like a big cup of them fries with the malt vinegar and a good amount of salt. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM

[Rob roccoli]

Goddman Four Peaks!!! Nicely done. Great food!!!
The best fries are still the ones that Mom likes to make. Unbeatable.

Anytime I go to Mickey D's I make sure to ask for fresh fries and then I stand there like an asshole and watch them.
