Am I the only one who doesn't like the hide still on their fries?

When I go into a restaurant and if I'm going to have fries, I always ask the waiter. If they say yes, and most do with a smile like I'll be happy they do, I tell them I don't want any then.

I don't mind some hide on the ends, but that's not common as most seem to be the outside edge and have more skin than tater it seems.

When we make them at home we always peel the skins off before slicing them up.


Eh...wot?

Hide on always! Not only is that the fiber, (granny called it roughage), that's also where all the vitamins/minerals are. I always eat the skins on baked 'Taters too!

For heaven’s sake, Racer Man...you're a trapper...just bring your skinning knife , cleaned up well, and peel the hide off them yourself .

The skin is the best part. Just dip it in your favorite sauce.

What a hoot it would be to observe you at the table wink

They're usually soggy with the skin on too, soaks in grease.

Ok, but if they're soggy anyway , would they still be even without skin ?

Use your fork in that case ! Not as fun, but it works . Tell them to drain the fries well !

It depends. I love the fresh cut Cajun fries at Five Guys, but I hate the fries at Wendy's. The old fries at Wendy's were so much better and I don't understand why they changed them.

8-9 minutes

Doesn't matter skin or no skin... even better smothered with chili and melted cheese.

Cut them thick and fry them crispy and then put something like "Slap Ya Mama" on them. That's how I make them.

I slightly prefer skin on fries. I eat the skin on baked potatoes.

If given a choice I pick skinless. Burger king has the best fries.

Skin on. They get a better earthy flavor that I like.

My mom would bake a potato and eat the skin and throw away the white flesh. She always said it was the best tasting and healthiest part of the spud
