Potatoes Fried, commonly referred to as French fries, are a popular dish made by slicing potatoes into thin strips or wedges and deep-frying them in oil until golden and crispy. Though originating in Belgium, they have become a staple in various cuisines worldwide, often served as a side dish or snack. Nutritionally, fried potatoes are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contain small amounts of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C from the potatoes themselves. However, their health impact largely depends on preparation methods. Deep-frying adds significant fat and calories, and excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain and cardiovascular concerns due to saturated fats or trans fats in some frying oils. Moderation and choosing baked or air-fried alternatives may reduce these concerns while allowing enjoyment of this versatile and flavorful food.
