About Fries with onions

Fries with onions is a savory dish combining golden, crispy fried potatoes and sautéed onions for a flavor-packed experience. Originating from Western comfort food traditions, this combination is enjoyed in various cuisines, often as a side dish or snack. The fries are typically made from starchy potatoes, peeled, sliced, and deep-fried, while the onions are lightly caramelized to enhance their sweetness and aroma. Nutritionally, potatoes provide essential vitamins like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber when cooked with their skins. However, deep frying adds significant amounts of fat and calories, making the dish less heart-healthy if consumed excessively. Adding sautéed onions offers antioxidants and a mild dose of vitamins, but the benefits are balanced by their preparation in oil. For a healthier alternative, baking the fries and onions in minimal oil can reduce fat content while preserving their delectable flavors.
