Slight correction – French fries are in fact from France. It's just that the name "French fries" is mostly only used in America.

Yeah, but they're mostly associated with Hamburgers these days.

There is a whole dispute of whether it was France, Belgium or Spain. I think most people settle on Belgium, some France and a minority point to a really old account of fried potatoes (uncertain of cut though) in Spain before they were even grown in France.

Also, the name comes from the French cut (aka Julienne), not the fact the fries are French. The pedantic name would be Frenched Fries.
