Hot chips, also known as French fries, are a popular fried potato snack originating from Western cuisine, specifically European traditions. Typically made from sliced potatoes, they are deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and soft inside. The core ingredients include potatoes, oil, and salt, though seasoning and accompaniments like ketchup or vinegar vary by region and preference. While potatoes themselves are a source of fiber, vitamins C and B6, and potassium, the frying process adds significant calories, unhealthy trans fats, and sodium. Moderation is key, as regular consumption can contribute to weight gain and elevated cholesterol levels. Baking instead of frying or using healthier oils can improve their nutritional profile. Hot chips remain a beloved comfort food and side dish worldwide, particularly in fast food culture and casual dining.
