About Portuguese fries

Portuguese Fries are a flavorful take on classic fried potatoes, inspired by Portuguese cuisine. Made by thinly slicing or cutting potatoes into strips, they are fried until golden and crispy, often tossed with garlic, paprika, parsley, and olive oil for a distinctive Mediterranean twist. This dish celebrates the bold, aromatic flavors characteristic of Portuguese cooking. While potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C, the frying process increases their calorie and fat content. Opting for olive oil, a heart-healthy fat, provides a healthier alternative to traditional frying oils. However, portion control is key to balancing their indulgent nature with nutritional benefits. Portuguese Fries pair particularly well with grilled meats, seafood, or as a stand-alone snack, offering a delicious and savory experience for food lovers.
