French fries are made from potato so, in that respect, they are a vegetable.

However, if the question has been asked from a nutritional point of view, potatoes (and therefore french fries) are generally considered to be a starch, rather than a vegetable.

French fries are cut-and-fried potatoes. Potatoes are not vegetables, the potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family. Potato may refer to the plant itself as well. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potato is the world's most widely grown tuber crop, and the fourth largest food crop in terms of fresh produce after rice, wheat, and corn.
