Default Why is fried food considered unhealthy?

Hi there,

It seems to be the general consensus that fried food is unhealthy.

Why is this?

Say for example chips/fries. Potatoes aren't considered unhealthy so is it
something about the cooking process for chips/fries that when fried makes
them unhealthy?

The only reason I can think of with this example in mind is that the fries
become saturated with oil and therefore when you eat the chips/fries, as
well as the potato, you are also consuming the oil with it.

Thoughts please.

Callum
