Fried potato sticks, commonly known as French fries, are a popular snack or side dish made from fresh or frozen potatoes that are sliced into thin strips and deep-fried until crispy. Originating from Belgium or France, they have become a staple in cuisines worldwide, often seasoned with salt and served with condiments like ketchup or mayonnaise. Key ingredients include potatoes, oil, and optional seasonings or toppings. While they provide carbohydrates and small amounts of potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes, they are also high in calories and fat due to the frying process. Depending on the type of oil used, fried potato sticks may contain unhealthy trans fats. Baking or using air fryers can provide a healthier alternative, reducing the oil content while maintaining their crunch. Moderation is key when enjoying this well-loved comfort food.
