Franse Frietjes, or French fries, are a popular snack and side dish originating from Belgium, although often associated with French cuisine. These thinly sliced and fried potato sticks are traditionally made by cutting potatoes into elongated strips, frying them in oil until golden and crispy, and lightly seasoning them with salt. While they are loved for their crunchy texture and savory flavor, their nutritional profile depends largely on how they are prepared. Fries are a source of carbohydrates from the potatoes, but they are also high in fats and calories due to deep frying, especially if cooked in oil with saturated fats. Healthier alternatives include baking or air-frying to reduce oil content. While they provide potassium and some fiber from the potatoes, portion moderation is key to enjoying Franse Frietjes as part of a balanced diet.
