A Basket of Fries is a classic side dish consisting of freshly cut potatoes, deep-fried to golden perfection and typically served hot and crispy. This popular snack has roots in European cuisine, often associated with Belgium and France, where thinly sliced, fried potatoes became a culinary staple. Potatoes are naturally a good source of potassium and fiber, which can support heart health and digestion. However, frying adds significant amounts of fat and calories, making moderation key. Fries are usually salted, adding to their savory appeal but potentially increasing sodium intake. They may be paired with condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, or cheese sauces that further impact their nutritional profile. While indulgent and satisfying, fries are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple due to their high fat and calorie content. Variations include skin-on, seasoned, or sweet potato fries for additional flavor options.
