True that people claim they were started in Belgium but one historian Jo Gerard says that before the Belgians fried them people in the Spanish Netherlands (1680's) had already done that!. So it could be understood that Spain would have been the first to fry potatoes since they were the first to see the potato in Europe it is also beleived that Saint Teresa of ávila fried the first potato

According to wikipedia, it is thought that French Fries were created in Belgium!. also, French fries are only called French fries in the US!. Every other place in the world they are called chips!. The word "French" refers to the long slender cut of the potato!. "Frenching" is a term that refers to this type of cut!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Their origin story of the French fry goes something like this: according to one Belgian historian, French fries got their start in Belgium in the 1680’s when some poor inhabitants of the Meuse valley in Belgium, who had become accustomed to frying small fish as an accompaniment to their meals, had decided to cut potatoes length ways and fried them in oil when the river nearby had frozen over and they had no access to fish!.
