French fries are a popular side dish made from potatoes that are peeled, sliced into thin strips, and then deep-fried in oil until crispy and golden brown. Originating from Belgian cuisine, they are now enjoyed globally, often as an accompaniment to burgers, sandwiches, or as a standalone snack. Traditional French fries are high in carbohydrates from the potatoes and fat from the frying process, making them calorie-dense. While potatoes provide potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and some B vitamins, these health benefits can be diminished by the added fat and sodium from frying and seasoning. Opting for baked or air-fried alternatives can reduce the fat content and make them a healthier choice. French fries can fit into a balanced diet when consumed in moderation, but their high fat and sodium levels make them a dish best enjoyed occasionally rather than as a staple food.
