I can't believe you. It says "French" in the name, so they must be from France. Nice try, but you can't fool me.

And potato chips originated from a French dish! A cook in the south with a temper kept getting told that the potatoes were too soggy so he got revenge by slicing a potato as thin as possible and frying it in oil and salt. The guy he served it to surprisingly adored it and that's how we got potato chips. Tune in next time for another episode of "Random History"!

I thought that happened in Saratoga, New York where a cook was trying to appease a fussy customer.

There is a potato named 'pomme pont neuf' which is indeed a fried potato and did originate in France buuuut it has a different shape (more sides) than your normal 'fry' with four sides. Thát is a Belgian thing and those are the universal fries because they are much easier to cut. So: simple fries = Belgian, pretty geometrical fries: French.

I thought they would be called French fries because that's the way they were fried...in French style

Not the way they are fried but the way they are cut. Uniform thin matchstick type cut. Think french style green beans
