Fried potato, commonly known as french fries or chips, is a popular side dish and snack made from thinly cut potatoes, typically fried in oil until crispy and golden brown. Originating from Belgium and widely enjoyed in Western cuisines, fried potatoes have become a global comfort food staple. They are often seasoned with salt and served with condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise, or vinegar. Nutritionally, fried potatoes provide carbohydrates from the starchy potato and are a source of potassium and vitamin C. However, frying significantly increases their calorie and fat content, with many commercial varieties containing trans fats if fried in certain oils. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain and elevated cholesterol levels. Opting for air frying or baking can make them a healthier alternative while retaining their signature crunch and flavor.
