I call fried potatoes, fried potatoes and french fries french fries. I distinguish between the 2 as such. I cook fried potatoes in a skillet with a small bit of veg. oil and some onion, seasonings, french fries I cook in a pan of veg. oil or in the oven

They began as fried potatos cut in the French style, or Frenched fried. Today we call this julienned.

They were "Frenched Fried Potatoes."
Frenched = julienned
They were originally "invented" in Belgium.
