Fries, also known as French fries, are a popular side dish made from potatoes sliced into strips and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Originating from Belgium, they are now a staple in cuisines globally, often paired with burgers, sandwiches, or enjoyed as a standalone snack. Potatoes, the main ingredient, are naturally rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and vitamin C. However, the frying process adds significant amounts of fat, particularly unhealthy trans fats if prepared in partially hydrogenated oils. High sodium content from added salt is another nutritional concern. Opting for baked or air-fried versions, or consuming them in moderation, can provide a lighter alternative. While delicious and versatile, fries are best enjoyed sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
