French fries are a globally popular side dish traditionally made from potatoes, which are cut into strips and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating from Belgium or France, depending on historical accounts, they have become a staple in Western cuisine and fast food. Typically seasoned with salt, they may also be supplemented with condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar. While potatoes are naturally rich in fiber, nutrients, and potassium, the frying process adds significant calories and fat, especially when cooked in oils high in saturated fats. Overconsumption may contribute to health concerns, including weight gain and elevated cholesterol levels. Baked or air-fried versions provide lighter alternatives with reduced fat content. Despite being an indulgent choice, French fries remain a beloved comfort food that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
