Why are French fries called French fries? but they actually originated in Belgium, where they are known as "frites." The term "French" may have been used because French was the dominant language of high cuisine in Europe at the time, many people outside of Belgium may have assumed that the dish was French. During World War 1, American soldiers stationed in Belgium were introduced to frites and brought the idea back to the United States, where they became popular in American cuisine. So, even though they're not actually French, the name stuck and the delicious dish is still beloved around the world today.
