About Frieten
Frieten, commonly known as Belgian fries, are a beloved staple of Belgian cuisine. These thick-cut potato fries are traditionally double-fried — first at a lower temperature to cook the inside, then at a higher heat to achieve a crispy golden exterior. They are made with simple ingredients: potatoes, oil, and sometimes salt, making them flavorful yet uncomplicated. While Frieten provide a source of carbohydrates, key for energy, their nutritional profile heavily depends on preparation. Deep frying increases calorie and fat content, which can contribute to unhealthy consumption when eaten in excess. However, they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when paired with fresh toppings or served alongside healthy mains like lean proteins and vegetables. Frieten represents comfort and tradition, often served with various sauces like mayonnaise, completing a rich experience rooted in European culinary heritage.
