Belgium Frites, also known as French Fries, are a popular snack around the world. Contrary to their name, they actually originated in Belgium. They are made from deep-fried potatoes and seasoned with salt. Often served with ketchup, mayonnaise or other dips, they are a staple in fast-food restaurants and food trucks. Although they are not the healthiest snack option, they are a satisfying treat and perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Instructions

1.	Cut the potatoes into long, thin strips.
2.	Rinse the potatoes in cold water and then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3.	Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
4.	Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the pan and cook until they are golden brown (around 5-6 minutes).
5.	Remove the fries from the pan and place them on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil.
6.	Sprinkle salt over the fries and serve hot.

CONS

French fries are high in calories and fat.
Eating them frequently can lead to weight gain and health problems in the long term.
They are also often served with unhealthy toppings such as cheese, bacon, and sour cream.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Potatoes are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. They are also fat-free, gluten-free and contain no cholesterol.
However, frying them in oil adds unnecessary calories and fat. To make them healthier, consider baking the fries or air frying them instead of deep frying.
