About Potato, french fries, restaurant

French fries are potatoes cut into sticks and deep-fried until crisp outside and fluffy within — arguably the world's most popular way to eat a potato. From fast-food cartons to bistro plates, the restaurant version is fried in oil and generously salted.

The potato underneath does carry potassium, vitamin C and some fiber, but frying transforms the nutrition: oil soaks in and the calories climb to around 289 per 100 grams, with the salt added at the end pushing sodium up too. It is the cooking method, far more than the potato, that defines them.

An occasional side of fries is no cause for concern, but as a daily habit the fat and salt add up quickly. Oven-baked or air-fried potato wedges, lightly oiled, deliver much of the satisfaction with a fraction of the fat.
