Minnesota’s Best Restaurant Fries, Ranked Healthiest To Worst

The ultimate side dish with a burger is the one and only french fry. And they are soooooo delicious!

Curly fries, waffle fries, crinkle fries, or the "healthier" sweet potato fry option are ALL amazing. Throw some gravy and cheese curds on those lines of potatoes and you've got one of the best dishes in the world - poutine. Fun Fact: Poutine was created back in the 1950s in Canada but some genius smuggled the recipe to America...and I'm so glad they did! It is delish!

But which fries are the healthiest for you? And which ones are helping you hit those sodium totals for the day? That research has been calculated and published and you can find where your favorite place ranks below.

French Fries From Your Favorite Fast-Food Restaurants Ranked Healthiest to Unhealthiest

Everyone knows that french fries aren't the healthiest item to pick on the food pyramid we grew up learning about, but some types are healthier than others. You can see where your favorite ranks below.

Fast-Food Fries - Ranked Healthiest to Unhealthiest

The best side dish for a burger is NOT coleslaw. If someone tells you that, walk away and go find a place that is serving up french fries.

"Healthy" and "French Fries" don't typically go together. It is common knowledge that although a fry is from a potato, it doesn't make it as healthy as a green, leafy salad.

If you are still reaching for a fry and now you are curious how "healthy" it really is, Cheapism did the research for you and ranked over 20 fast-food chains' fries from the healthiest to unhealthiest.

What Fast-Food Restaurant Has The Healthiest Cheeseburger?

It would be un-American if you ordered a fry without ordering a cheeseburger. And since Americans eat an average of 2.4 hamburgers per day, that is proof right there that we love the combo. But WHAT cheeseburger should you order if you are trying to eat a little bit healthier?

According to PlushCare, finding your nearest Culver's is your best option. A Butterburger is the healthiest option that they found when they did their research on this American favorite.

The next healthiest option for cheeseburgers is a tie between Burger King and McDonalds.

As far as the cheeseburger bringing the most "not-so-healthy" factors to your lips, Five Guys is taking that title.
