It’s hard to put into words how french fries make us feel, simply because they make us feel SO many things. The cycle usually starts with elation, before moving into a deep, loving satisfaction with a possible aftershock of guilt, depending on how full  you happen to be. If you’ve already read this far, we probably don’t have to convince you to look through 50 recipes of mouthwatering french fry recipes, now do we? Read on for the 50 most delicious french fry recipes that will take your love of sliced—fried or baked—potatoes to an entirely new level.

(Pst, here’s the recipe for these oven baked french fries.)

tijuana street fries

If you’re not already slobbering all over your keyboard, there’s a problem.

everything bagel home fries

Like an everything bagel (!!), but in french fry form. Hold back the tears, everything is going to be okay.

french fry pizza

Forming a crust like you see here (and cutting triangle pieces…) is not required, but welcomed! You can also make pizza fries more like nachos and simply sprinkle the ingredients on top for a less formal serving option. But this makes for a better Instagram, TBH.

You can’t go wrong with a classic like chili cheese fries. Sharing is optional.

We can’t get over the practicality of adding delicious buffalo chicken to thicker, sturdier waffle fries. Genius!

Fries before guys… And nacho chips.

Not all of us have access to an In-N-Out Burger joint (yeah, we’re jealous of West Coasters—we admit it). Thankfully, a copycat recipe exists to satisfy our needs.

curly fries

French fries are good, but curly fries? Nothing matches the joy of stuffing your face with these lively little spiraled wonders.

Pad thai isn’t just for noodles, silly! Add your favorite toppings and sauce to french fries and prepare for the meal of a lifetime.

Jicama resembles a potato, but is much sweeter. Bake it—don’t fry it—for a much healthier take on true french fries.
