On hating steak fries

[UncleEd]

Steak fries, those thick many shaped potatoes offered in too many restaurants, are an abomination. No consistency exists, some too mushy, some too over fried and occasionally a few just right.

The traditional french fries are what any decent restaurant should serve---long, a quarter inch thick and no more.

Steak fries are but a cheap way to serve a fried potato.

Cardiologists need not comment.

Steak, shoestring, waffle, crinkle, jojos and tater tots. Love 'em all.

I prefer Freedom Fries over French Fries any day.

My idea of the perfect size fry is about 3/8 inch thick. Unfortunately, to keep my cardiologist and my heart happy, I rarely eat fries any more. Closest thing I come to that these days is hash browns with onions cooked into scrambled eggs occasionally.

Extra thin and extra crispy, if we talkin' fries.

Lotta other ways to deal with a potato at meal time, too.

I prefer Freedom Fries over French Fries any day.

Note, I lower cased the word "french" as a style of cut not necessarily related to France.

Taters, taters, taters. It's all good.

I like them sliced into wedges with garlic powder, salt and pepper then put on the grill until done. Oh, sprayed with Pam before grilling.

With steak, I prefer my potatoes mashed with the peels, please.

I like Red Robin steak fries and there sold in food stores here.
Seasoned and done in my air fryer.

I’m with you on that. I don’t bring it up with my cardiologist though,she gives me too much grief already lol

 

[Racer X]

it's very rare to find a restaraunt that uses an animal fat in their fryer these days. not sure why a cardiologist would have issue with "vegetable" based oil fried potatoes.

Carbs would be my guess.

I kinda like all shapes and sizes of potatoes.. baked to mashed and all those in-between... I like thin sliced marinated and roasted crispy the best.. except winter holidays its got to be mashed... today its potato chips

 

[ACORN]

Home fries are my favorite. Crispy on the edges but soft and tasty inside. Fried up in a cast iron skillet with garlic and onions.
Apparently I like too much garlic for my wife’s taste.
I tell her it keeps away the vampires.
Ain’t been bit yet.

Not a steak fry fan here. I rarely eat any french fries because they’re not really good for you, but I will say about once a year I will go by McDonald’s and grab some.

 

[Protocall_Design]

I don't eat fries much anymore, but my favorite ones are Arby's curly fries.

 

[StrawHat]

Properly done pomme frites are amazing but so are good french fries. As to size and shape, not a battle I choose to fight. Put them on my plate and they will get eaten.

Hmmm...makes me wonder about making them on a Blackstone griddle...

I usually bake them in our Ninja toaster oven.

Just
eat potato pancakes slathered with sour cream or apple sauce.
