French Fries
French Fries are slices of potato that are usually sold pre-cut and frozen for quick frying or baking; they’re commonly found as a side in fast-casual and home meals and are known for their crisp exterior and soft interior. Nutritionally, they are an energy-dense starchy side that contain 15g of fat per 100 g, with moderate carbohydrates and only modest protein and fiber; they also provide small amounts of vitamin B6 and niacin from the potato. From a health perspective, frozen french fries are typically an ultra-processed convenience food with added salt and fat, so they’re best enjoyed occasionally or prepared using lower-fat methods (baking or air-frying) to reduce added fat and sodium.
