Then why don't we call them Belgian fries?
Explain that,if you can.
Here's a short paragraph that explains exactly that:
American soldiers stationed in Belgium were first introduced to french fries during World War I. As the official language of the Belgian army was French, soldiers nicknamed the delicious fried potatoes “french fries.” The name stuck, and decades later we’re still giving credit to the wrong country.

Like everything else, this too was apparently America's fault.
