About Seasoned french fries

Seasoned French fries are a popular side dish originating from Belgium or France, where fried potatoes are a culinary staple. They are made by slicing potatoes into thin strips, frying them until crisp, and tossing them with various spices or seasonings such as paprika, garlic powder, or herbs. Nutritionally, French fries primarily provide carbohydrates from the potatoes and fats from the frying oil. They are also a source of potassium and vitamin C, though these nutrients can vary depending on preparation methods. However, due to their frying process, they are typically high in calories and potentially saturated fat, depending on the oil used.

Health Benefits

• Potatoes provide potassium, which supports healthy muscle function and fluid balance.
• Vitamin C in potatoes aids in immune health and skin repair when minimally processed.
• Dietary fiber in seasoned fries, depending on preparation, supports digestive health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains Potential cross-contamination with gluten (seasoning), Soy (if seasoning contains soy-based additives), Milk (if seasoned with dairy ingredients like cheese powder)

Suitable for: Vegetarian, gluten-free (if prepared without gluten-containing seasonings)

Not suitable for: Vegan (if seasonings contain dairy), low-fat diets (due to frying process), low-sodium diets (often high sodium in seasonings)

Selection and Storage

Store cooked fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
