Cooked chips, often called French fries in many regions, are a popular snack and side dish made by deep-frying or baking thinly sliced potatoes. Originating from European cuisines, with cultural ties to Belgium and France, they are now enjoyed worldwide. Typically made with just potatoes, cooking oil, and optionally seasoned with salt or additional spices, they are relatively simple yet widely beloved. Chips are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contain trace amounts of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C from the potatoes. However, their nutritional profile varies greatly depending on preparation. Deep-fried chips tend to be high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, which can contribute to weight gain or heart health issues when consumed excessively. Oven-baked versions offer a lower-fat, healthier alternative. Moderation and pairing with nutrient-rich foods can help balance their intake in a well-rounded diet.
