It has been established that the earliest recorded recipes of fries are French.
Without knowing anything at all about the subject, except for where potatoes come from: Can we even be sure that native Americans didn't do them first?
Probably not the deep fried version, since AFAIK there isn’t any evidence of pre-Columbian cooking vessels that would be suitable for frying.
I always thought they were called French fries because they're French style, as in cut into long thing pieces. Til!
In Finland they're just called French. Plural.
That might be worse than Germany insisting shrimp scampi comes "with shrimps."
Sounds like everyone invented it
Belgians: And I took that personally…
I did though
It doesn't matter, Belgians are making much better fries than French. They deserve the recognition.
I love those meatballs they do in Belgian and Dutch frite shops that come in segments like a Terry's chocolate orange.
