A hot potato button topic & all the online info is speculative & w accounts of potatoes brought via Spain to Europe then Belgium & so on Belgium vs France is not agreed upon or timing as 1795 La cuisinière républicaine cookbook mentions Paris fries & Pommes Pont Neuf are French alt name maybe American soldiers idk

The theory is during WWl, the American soldiers in Belgium called them French friets. And then in old Irish to french means to cut into pieces and they were called French fried potatoes until the 1920s....😹

"frites" (feminine plural of the verb "to fry") *pronounce "freet" i suspect americans first ate them in france, where folks have been cooking them for aeons. note that the brits call fries, "chips"
