Pomme de Terre Frites, commonly known as French fries, are a popular dish originating from Belgian and French cuisine. Made from thinly sliced potatoes, they are typically deep-fried until crispy and golden brown, though baked versions are also common. Traditionally seasoned with salt, they can be enjoyed plain or paired with dips like ketchup, mayonnaise, or aioli. While potatoes provide dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, the preparation method significantly impacts their nutritional value. Deep-frying increases calorie and fat content, often making them a less healthy option when consumed frequently or in large quantities. Opting for baked or air-fried alternatives can reduce fat content, offering a lighter version without sacrificing flavor. French fries are a versatile, universally loved comfort food, but portion control and preparation methods are key to enjoying them within a balanced diet.
