No. French fries are made from potatoes, then fried in oil or grease. The digestive process breaks down the potatoes (starch) and the oil (lipids.) No food can "turn into" plastic. Plastic is made from petroleum products and cannot be eaten or digested. If small pieces of plastic are swallowed, they will pass through the body without being digested.

French fries as we know are made only by using potatoes and certain oils. While it enters our body, the starch and lipids that makes up the fries into smaller finer particles and get converted into glucose for energy and many other products. Plastic cannot be made by the process of digestion as it is purely a non-biodegradable material.
