What it is

French fries are a popular side dish or snack made from potatoes. Potatoes are cut into strips and deep-fried, often in vegetable oil. They are typically served hot and can be seasoned with salt or other spices.

Why it's used

French fries are primarily used as a side dish for meals like burgers, sandwiches, and fried chicken. They are also sold as a standalone snack. Their popularity stems from their appealing texture and taste, making them a common offering in fast-food restaurants and frozen food products.

Health notes

French fries are a source of carbohydrates and can be high in fat and sodium, depending on preparation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not specifically regulate french fries as a food additive. Health organizations generally recommend limiting intake of fried foods and foods high in sodium as part of a balanced diet. The World Health Organization (WHO) has noted concerns about high consumption of processed foods and fried foods in relation to public health.

Allergen info

French fries are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. Gluten may be present if the fries are coated or fried in oil that has also been used to cook gluten-containing foods, but potatoes themselves are gluten-free.
