About Skinny fries

Skinny fries are thinly cut and fried strips of potatoes, typically originating from European cuisine, particularly Belgium and France, where pomme frites became a culinary staple. They are now popular worldwide as a side dish or snack. Nutritionally, skinny fries are primarily a source of carbohydrates and provide energy. When fried, they may also contain fats depending on the oil used and their cooking process. Skinny fries offer small amounts of potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes, though these can diminish during frying. Baked or air-fried versions are often lower in fat compared to traditional deep-fried options.
