A Plate of Chips, also known as French fries, is a popular dish originating from Belgian or French cuisine. Made by slicing potatoes into strips and deep-frying them, chips are enjoyed worldwide as a versatile side dish or snack. They are typically seasoned with salt and can be served plain or accompanied by condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar. Nutritionally, chips are a source of carbohydrates and provide energy, but their deep-frying process adds significant calories and unhealthy fats, particularly if cooked in oils high in trans fats. While they contain small amounts of potassium, fiber, and vitamin C from the potatoes, these benefits are often outweighed by their high sodium content and calorie density. For a healthier option, chips can be baked instead of fried and lightly seasoned to reduce added fats and salt. Moderation is key when including chips in a balanced diet.
