Fried Potato Strips, commonly known as French Fries, are a popular snack or side dish originating from Belgian or French cuisine. Made by cutting potatoes into thin, uniform strips, they are typically deep-fried in oil until golden and crispy. Ingredients often include potatoes, vegetable oil, and optional seasonings like salt, herbs, or spices. Fries are high in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, and contain small amounts of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C from the potatoes. However, their nutritional profile can be less favorable due to high levels of fat and calories introduced during frying. They may also contain added sodium, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess. Healthier alternatives include baking or air-frying with minimal oil to reduce fat content. While indulgent, they are a versatile dish enjoyed globally, often served alongside burgers, sandwiches, or salads.
