About French fries and gravy

French fries and gravy is a comforting dish that combines crispy, deep-fried potato strips with rich, savory gravy. This popular pairing originates from North American cuisine, often associated with Canadian poutine, though similar variations exist globally. The fries are typically made from russet potatoes, which are high in carbohydrates and provide energy, but frying them in oil adds significant fat and calories. The gravy, usually made from meat drippings, flour, and seasoning, contributes flavor but can be high in sodium and fat depending on preparation. While the dish offers some nutrients like potassium from the potatoes, its high calorie and sodium content make it best enjoyed in moderation. Variants with leaner gravy options or baked fries can enhance its nutritional profile while retaining its satisfying taste.
