I prefer thinner fries, ketchup, mayo/horseradish or aioli. The only curly fries I liked were from Trader Dick’s in Sparks, Nevada. Perfect crispy potato springs.
I like them all, but I like waffle fries, steak fries, and those thick wedge shaped fries least. Favorites are crinkle cut fries (which unfortunately are almost always undercooked when I order them somewhere) and fairly thin fries but not so thin as shoestring fries. I like fries of the type Five Guys sells, but those decline in appeal faster than other types as they cool. I like some seasoned fries better than others and for some reason prefer to eat those without ketchup more than with. I like tater tots but don’t consider them to be fries. I don’t consider them to be bite-sized hash browns, but then I don’t consider the slab shaped things with tater tot texture to be real hash browns either even if that’s what they’re called on the menu.
I like most fries, with the exception of crinkle cut. Texture doesn’t work for me and they never seem to be properly cooked/salted. Shoestring would be my next-least favorite - I need more of that soft pillowy center. Tater tots are delicious but are not fries, same for sweet potato fries. And I’ll go against the crowd and say I love curly fries and waffle fries almost universally - their tendency to be less than crispy doesn’t bother me at all.
Toppings or dips are both okay by me, though I prefer to dip. Just keep the ketchup FAR away. FAR.
the variety of potato and frying skill are more important to me than the cut. I like them all.
I like waffle fries, which I don’t see foo often.
If tots are allowed, then pommes dauphine should be as well (mixed with pate choux, shaped and fried). And pommes souffles.
also, potato croquettes
Sorry, that does not look enjoyable. Perhaps I meant an edible French fry casserole.
Abomination or worth a try?

As our terrier said before we gave her her first bath, “That’s a terrible idea.”
The best fries are the ones I have in front of me at any given time. Unless they’re sweet potato fries, which are crap even at their best.
