>too salty or not salted enough>too soggy or too dry>too crispy or too starchy>too thick or too thinIs there a single side dish you can order that is more consistently unsatisfying than fries? Even in places with otherwise pretty good food they often tend to be underwhelming.
profit margin scam: the food
>>21962948Good fries have to be >salty>dry>crispy>thin
>>21962993perfectly paired with soda
frozen fries turn out perfect EVERY time, even in the oven, i literally don't understand how it's possible for restaurants to fuck them up.

fries from non fast food locations tend to suck.frozen fries are unironically better than fries made from fresh potatoes on the day of.
>>21963003Things can be true for several things
>>21963006Costco fries near me are always bomb for some reason tho.
>scrub and wash potatoes>cut off black spots and unsightly bits from skin>cut into sticks>wash starch off of sticks>bring water to boil>boil the fries, but not too much in case they cook and fall apart, have to monitor the pot constantly>drain them>have to lay them out on a baking tray>have to cover them in oil all over in case they stick to the tray>takes like another 30 minutes to bake them>they taste kind of okay but like a baked potato cut into a stick shapewhat a fucking waste of time, i am just buying a frozen bag of chips, fuck this gay fucking shit
>>21962948formulaic post indicated by this line:>is there a X that is more Ytroll detected
>>21963101>bakeyou did all the other stupid shit and then didnt bother frying them? you didnt care about the most important thing that makes a fry a fry?
>>21963101what you describe is trying to maximize crunch. i don't really bother with that.freshly cut potatoes tossed in some oil and baked will taste better than frozen fries even if they're soft
>>21963223Deep frying at home is something saved for occasions like large gatherings or big social events, I am not wasting like 1.5 litres of $5 oil for a single side of a meal either.>>21963243I clearly wrote the don't taste the same.
>>21962948mod your fries
>>21963417Seems to me that you've got two options, which is to partially shallow fry in batches then finish off in the oven, or the other option is to stop whining like a bitch.
>>21962993if you're concerned about the price of food you shouldn't be paying someone else to prepare it for you
>>21962948>Is there a single side dish you can order that is more consistently unsatisfying than fries?The thing is even the absolute worst fries are still edible. I think mashed potatoes is the one. Even with a gun to my head, you give me shit mashed potatoes, I'll take the bullet before I eat that fucking slop.
>>21963451>does nothing but to make fries soggy and make the experience of eating the topping unsatisfying
>>21964204are you a slow eater? an average hungry person will devour that in 2 minutes.
>>21964217Yeah, I'm not a fatass.
