Fried fresh potatoes, commonly known as French fries or chips depending on regional preferences, are a popular dish that originated from European cuisine, with roots often traced to Belgium and France. Prepared by cutting potatoes into strips or wedges, they are then cooked in hot oil until crisp and golden brown. This dish is a source of carbohydrates, primarily from the potatoes, and also provides potassium along with small amounts of vitamins like Vitamin C. However, the frying process adds significant fat and calories to the dish, particularly if refined oils are used. Fried fresh potatoes can be high in sodium if seasoned heavily, which may contribute to health concerns when consumed excessively. While enjoyed globally for their satisfying texture and flavor, moderation and alternative cooking methods, such as air frying, can make this comfort food a healthier option while retaining its appeal.
