Pommes, commonly referred to as French fries or chips depending on regional terminology, are thinly cut and fried potatoes that hold a beloved place in global cuisine. Originating from Belgium and France, they have become a staple in fast food and casual dining worldwide. Pommes are typically prepared by slicing potatoes into strips, frying them in oil, and seasoning lightly with salt. While they are a source of carbohydrates from the potatoes and provide small amounts of potassium and vitamin C, the frying process introduces significant amounts of fat, especially when prepared with less healthy oils. Commercially-made pommes often contain added preservatives and high sodium levels, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Homemade or oven-baked variations can present healthier options, allowing for better control over oil and seasoning. Versatile and highly customizable, pommes remain a popular treat when enjoyed responsibly.
