A side of French fries is a popular dish originating from European cuisine, often attributed to Belgium or France. Made from thinly cut potatoes, the slices are fried until golden and crispy, resulting in a savory snack or accompaniment to various meals. Typical ingredients include potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt, with optional seasonings or toppings such as cheese or herbs. While French fries can be a source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are generally high in calories and fat depending on the cooking method and portion size. Nutritionally, they offer small amounts of potassium and fiber from the potatoes but are considered low in essential nutrients. Excessive consumption of fried foods may contribute to weight gain and elevated cholesterol levels. Healthier variations can be made by baking or air frying with minimal oil and seasoning.
