Fried cut potatoes, commonly known as French fries, are a popular dish made from potatoes cut into strips or wedges and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating in either Belgium or France, they have become a global favorite and are a staple in many cuisines, often served as a side dish or snack. Key ingredients include potatoes, oil, and sometimes seasoning or salt. While potatoes are a good source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C, frying them in oil significantly increases their calorie and fat content, which can contribute to weight gain and heart health issues when consumed excessively. Healthier variations can be baked or air-fried to reduce oil content, and using heart-healthy oils like olive or avocado oil can also make them a better option. Moderation and preparation method are key to enjoying fried cut potatoes as part of a balanced diet.
