It originated from France
The origin of the French fries is disputed between France and the Southern, French-speaking part of Belgium. They are popular in both countries (and many others). In France they are simply called "frites", meaning fries. There is no mention of fries being specifically French.
The origins:Belgians based on a family manuscript of 1680 say that they already cut up potatoes and fryed them. In France the fries (pommes frites or commonly Frites) are born on the bridges of Paris in 1789 in full French Revolution and became popular.In 1830, Paris (france) and Brussels (belgium) fond of Frites (Fries). Even if Thomas Jefferson mentioned already "fried potatoes in the French manner" following his stay in France from 1784 to 1789, the fries have been popularized in America after the return of soldiers from the First World War of France and Belgium (where French is the official language), hence the name "French Fries". The real name in French is FRITES.

The food called fries in America are known as chips in Britain.
Fries are short for "French Fries", so i would think that they came from France... =p It is my understanding that the "French" in french fries refers to the shape and style of the cut of the potato when making them, not with their country of origin.
