About Friets
Friets, commonly known as Belgian or French fries, are a beloved snack and side dish with European origins, particularly tied to Belgium. Traditionally crafted by slicing potatoes into even strips, they're fried twice—first at a lower temperature to cook through and then at a higher temperature for a crisp exterior. Served warm, friets are often paired with dips like mayonnaise or ketchup and can accompany a wide range of meals. Nutritionally, they are rich in carbohydrates, providing energy, but their fat content can be high, especially if fried in oil. Friets offer potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes but are considered an indulgent food rather than a staple for healthy diets. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption may contribute to calorie and fat intake. Opting for baked versions or healthier oil alternatives can reduce their less nutritious aspects while keeping their crisp, satisfying flavor intact.
