About Angry fries

Angry fries are a spicy variation of classic French fries, often seasoned with a mix of chili powder, paprika, cayenne, and other bold spices. Originating as a fusion dish inspired by American fast food and global love for spicy flavors, they are commonly found in casual dining establishments. Nutritionally, angry fries are high in carbohydrates due to their potato base, providing a quick energy source. However, they are also calorie-dense and may contain high levels of sodium and fats, especially if deep-fried or heavily seasoned. When prepared in a healthier way (e.g., baked and seasoned lightly), they can retain potatoes' beneficial nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber.

Health Benefits

• Potatoes in angry fries are a good source of potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure levels.
• Contain vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps bolster the immune system.
• If prepared with the skin on, potatoes provide dietary fiber that aids in healthy digestion.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains none inherent to potatoes, but potential allergens may include spices or oils used during preparation such as soybean or peanut oil

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Low-carb diets, low-sodium diets, diets avoiding fried foods

Selection and Storage

Store uncooked potatoes in a cool, dark place to prevent sprouting or spoilage. If fries are cooked, refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and consume within 3-5 days by reheating thoroughly in the oven for crispiness.

Nutritionally, they are similar to regular fries in calories and fat content, but Angry Fries may have a higher sodium content due to the added seasoning.
