    i was suprised to learn recentlyish that most people prefer crispy french fries over soggy ones. the ideal fry is somewhere in the middle but between the two extremes i’ll take the sog every day of the week

      There’s a restaurant I go to once in a while (it’s out of my way) that consistently makes excellent fries that are a magical. They thick, are long-cut fries with a bit of skin and a hint of edge crispiness. But overall they are kind of limp and soft. The occasional smaller “runt” fries are very crispy, but the longer thicker fries are wonderfully limp and they taste like actual potatoes.
      They are not greasy.

      Too many fast-food French fries don’t taste like actual potatoes to me. They taste like some kind of synthetic starch compound, almost like a Pringles or some shit.

      They’re good soggy when they’re soaked in something flavorful, like gravy. But like just overly oily, no thank you.
