That is a good point. I have had fries that were better than tater tots, but I think the average tot is better than the average fry."French Fries" is a very broad category; they can vary from one place to another. When you say "tater tots" you know what you are getting.

I refuse to choose
I celebrate fried potatoes in all their forms.
I choose not to run.

Kind of the same thing in a different package, no?
this man is right.I celebrate fried potatoes in all their forms.
You still have made a choice.I choose not to run.![]()
I'm not a fan of steak fries either...but curly fries....fuck yeahTater Tots.
I like French Fries, don't get me wrong. But French Fries includes sub-genres, like steak fries, string fries, curly fries, etc.....and let's face it, steak fries suck. So do Arby's Fries. They give me the shits.
I've never gotten the shits from tater tots.

how else would tater tots be made?I don't know if this is something that is widespread, but the roach coach that stops in front of my place of work does tater tops in the deep fryer. I've rarely tasted anything as evily good...
I buy microwave tater tots.how else would tater tots be made?
I am not a purist.A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless danceYes, but it's a choice outside of the poll. #votenoneoftheabove
as in all of these sorts of decisions, there such a huge range of good to horrible examples of both out there, and I'd take a good example of either one over a bad example of the other. Average tater tots vs average fries? I think I'd go with the tots. If we're comparing "best case" tater tots vs best case fries? probably fries.
