Olive Oil is not a "high heat" oil so although it is possible to cook french fries in olive oil it is more likely they fries will be more oily.

When you cook anything in oil, the hotter the oil the more quickly it seals the out portion of the food allowing only the heat of the oil to cook the inside. That's what makes them crispy. If you cook anything in oil on a lower heat it will not seal and crisp the food on the outer portion allowing the oil to seep in the inner portion of the foods.

If you heat olive oil at very high temperatures it will burn and hence, burn the food.

So in short, you can cook fries in Olive oil but they won't be as crispy.

You can cook fries this way in olive oil: cut the potatoes into wedges, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) at the thick end, tapering to nothing, and arrange without overlapping in barely 1cm (1/2 inch) olive oil heated to medium-high. Cook until well-colored, and turn; when the other side is golden-brown, put to drain on kitchen paper or a rack. Your fries will be deliciously crisp. You can add garlic, peppercorns, or other aromatics, to the oil as it heats. If you use too much oil, the fries won't be crisp.

Why is olive oil important for Greek recipes?

In Greek cuisine, cooks traditionally do not deep fry; instead, they pan-fry, everything from fish and meats to vegetables and grains. Olive oil is almost always the fat of choice in the Greek skillet. It endures heat well, is extremely flavorful, and is much better for you than seed or other oils.
