Homemade French fries are a classic side dish rooted in French and Belgian cuisines, though they’ve become a universal favorite. Made simply by slicing fresh potatoes into thin strips or wedges, they are typically fried in oil until golden and crispy. Some variations involve baking or air-frying for a healthier twist. French fries provide a source of carbohydrates and potassium, as potatoes are naturally rich in these nutrients. However, their nutritional profile depends largely on preparation methods; frying increases their fat and calorie content, particularly if using oils high in saturated fats. Homemade versions can be healthier than store-bought or fast food options, as they allow control over ingredients, seasoning, and cooking methods. Opting for olive oil, minimal salt, or alternative cooking techniques can enhance their nutritional benefits while maintaining their signature deliciousness.
