French fries are believed to have originated in Belgium, where they are known as "frites." According to popular legend, Belgian villagers would fry potatoes in the late 1600s, particularly during winter when the rivers froze and fishing was not possible. However, they are also widely associated with French cuisine, leading to the debate about their true origin. Regardless of their beginnings, French fries have become a beloved dish worldwide.

No, they are actually from Belgium. According to Wikipedia the origin of the French fries is disputed between France and Wallonie, the Southern, French-speaking part of Belgium. They are popular in both countries. In France they are simply called "frites", meaning fries. There is no mention of fries being specifically French. For what it's worth, more than one Frenchman has said to me that the Wallons make the best frites.
