Fried chips, often referred to as French fries, are thinly sliced potatoes deep-fried until golden and crispy. A staple in Western cuisine, their origins are commonly attributed to Belgium or France, where they were first popularized. Made with basic ingredients like potatoes, oil, and salt, fried chips are beloved for their versatility and are often paired with dips such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar. While fried chips are a fantastic source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, the frying process increases their fat and calorie levels. They typically lack significant vitamins or minerals unless enhanced with seasonings or served with nutritious sides. Consuming them in moderation is advised, as high sodium and trans-fat content can impact heart health over time. For a healthier alternative, some opt for baked or air-fried versions, which retain the signature crunch with less added fat.
