Salted French fries are a popular snack and side dish rooted in French or Belgian cuisine, though their exact origins are debated. Made from thinly sliced potatoes, they are typically deep-fried until golden and crisp, then seasoned with salt. Potatoes, the main ingredient, are a source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, making fries a source of essential nutrients in their base form. However, the frying process adds significant amounts of fat, including saturated fat, which can pose health concerns when consumed in excess. Additionally, their high sodium content from salt can contribute to elevated blood pressure for some individuals. French fries are widely enjoyed for their satisfying texture and flavor, but they should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Alternatives such as baked or air-fried versions may offer a healthier variation while maintaining their classic appeal.
