French fries are a popular dish made from thin slices of potatoes that are deep-fried to achieve a crisp, golden texture. Believed to have originated in Belgium and popularized in French cuisine, they are now enjoyed worldwide as a snack or side dish. Typically seasoned with salt, they may also be flavored with spices, herbs, or condiments like ketchup. Fries are rich in carbohydrates due to their potato base and provide energy, but they are generally considered less healthy due to their high fat content from frying and potential sodium overload from seasoning. While variations such as baked fries or those cooked in healthier oils can lower fat and calorie content, traditional French fries are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
