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.
