Best Answer
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.
