Potato fries, commonly referred to as French fries, are a globally beloved dish originating from Belgium, though often associated with American fast food. Made by slicing potatoes into thin strips, they are typically deep-fried in oil until golden and crispy. Traditional potato fries consist of only potatoes, oil, and salt, though variations may include seasonings or coatings. Fries are a good source of carbohydrates and provide some potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes. However, their high fat content—especially if fried in unhealthy oils—and added sodium reduce their nutritional benefits. Preparing them with healthier cooking methods like baking or air frying can lower calorie and fat levels. Though indulgent and satisfying, moderation is key to enjoying potato fries while balancing overall health.
