in defference..... the term for french fries in france is Pommes frits I 
believe as this is derived from the term for potatoes in france which is 
Pommes de terre which means apples of the earth....the best fries are made 
from potatoes that have been par boiled ...in water or oil(best)....then 
cooled and deep fried.... an unusual variation is pommes de terre souffle...in 
which you cut the potatoes thinly(like a thick potato chip) then par fry in 
not too hot oil...let cool then refry in hot oil....then watch what happens as 
the potatoes should puff....mmm.....I got hundreds of potato recipes...
