Did French Fries come from France?

Despite its name and popularity , French fries are not from France; however historians? claim that potatoes are being fried in Belgium since the late 1600s. According to Belgian people, poor villagers living in Meuse Valley would often ate small fried fish they caught in the river. During the winter months when the river froze, fishing would become an impossible task and forced villagers to find other sources of food.
