At Broaster Chickens, customers love pairing their meals with a tasty side. One of the biggest questions is whether sweet potato fries are healthier than classic French fries. Both are delicious but they offer different nutritional benefits. Here is a clear and simple comparison to help you choose the best option for your health goals.
Sweet Potato Fries vs Regular Fries
Which Side Is Better for You?
Both types of fries start with a vegetable, but they differ in nutrients, flavor, and how they affect your body. Here is what you need to know.
Nutritional Edge of Sweet Potato Fries
Higher in Vitamin A
Sweet potatoes are naturally rich in beta carotene which your body converts into vitamin A. This vitamin supports your immune system vision and overall wellness.
More Fiber
Sweet potato fries generally provide more fiber than regular fries. Fiber helps digestion supports gut health and keeps you full for longer.
Rich in Antioxidants
Sweet potatoes contain antioxidants that help protect your cells from damage. This makes them a more nutrient dense choice.
What Regular Fries Bring to the Table
Classic fries made from white potatoes also provide benefits
Good Source of Potassium
Potatoes are naturally rich in potassium which supports muscle function and healthy blood pressure.
Comfort Food Factor
For many customers, classic fries offer that familiar salty, crispy taste that pairs perfectly with Broaster chicken.
The Biggest Factor: Cooking Method
Whether you choose sweet potato fries or regular fries the way they are cooked makes the biggest difference. Deep frying increases calories and fat for both options. Baking or air frying is always the healthier choice because it uses less oil and keeps more nutrients intact.
Portion Size Matters
A small serving of fries can fit into a balanced meal. A very large portion can turn into a high-calorie side, no matter which type you choose. Enjoying fries in moderation is the key to making a healthier choice.
Which Should You Choose at Broaster Chickens?
Here is a simple guide
- Choose sweet potato fries if you want more fiber, vitamin A, and a nutrient-packed side
- Choose regular fries if you prefer a comforting classic taste
- Choose small to medium portions to keep both options balanced
- Pair your fries with Broaster Chicken and a fresh side like coleslaw salad or corn for an even healthier meal
Final Thoughts
Both sweet potato fries and regular fries have their own strengths. Sweet potato fries offer more nutrients and fiber while classic fries deliver that traditional crispy flavor. At Broaster Chickens you can enjoy either one as long as you keep portion size in mind and balance your meal. Healthy eating does not mean giving up flavor — it means making smart and tasty choices.
