Fried potatoes, commonly referred to as French fries, are a popular dish made from thinly sliced or julienned potatoes that are fried in oil until golden and crispy. Originating from Belgium but widely associated with American fast food cuisine, this dish is enjoyed globally in various forms. Typically seasoned with salt, they may also be flavored with herbs, spices, or sauces. Fried potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates and provide energy, but they are often high in fat due to the frying process, particularly if cooked in highly processed oils. While they offer small amounts of potassium and fiber, their high calorie content and potential trans fats make them less ideal for frequent consumption. Opting for healthier preparation methods, such as air frying or oven baking, can reduce the fat content while retaining their satisfying texture and taste.
