The straightforward explanation of the term "French fried potatoes" is that it means "potatoes fried in the French manner": the verb fry can mean either sautéing or deep-fat frying, while French 'frire' unambiguously means deep frying.

The "french" refers to the way the potatoes are sliced. It has nothing to do with France.
