French fries are strips of potato deep-fried until crisp, and a medium fast-food serving comes to about 365 kcal. The potato itself is fairly light; the absorbed frying oil supplies about 40% of the total. Ordering a small or air-frying at home with a little oil keeps the numbers down, and vegetarians may want to ask whether a restaurant fries in beef tallow.
