"Frites" is a portmanteau of the words "French" and "frites", so it's still just "frites".
Incidentally, when translating the word "frites" to English, you can't be certain of how many instances of the word "French" you need to add, and the only way to be certain is to ask the original author. This has led to many difficulties in translating posthumous works.
No, the question is, what are French?
Trick question. They're called patate frites normally, but everyone just calls them frites.
is it not pommes frites? fried apples?
Correct. The “frites” part means exactly the same as “fries” (well, technically it means “fried”).
Americans just LOVE to make things sound fancier by adding “French” to the name to give it some “ooh là là”. See also: “French” vanilla ice cream (everywhere else in the world it’s just vanilla).
"French fries" is a shortening of "French fried potatoes" and they indeed came to America via France.
Indeed. Actually the real french word is "fries", and "frites" is a mistake children make, like saying "pourrites" instead of "pourries"
Actually, French vanilla is used when actual vanilla bean is used in the flavouring, if it just says vanilla its either artificial or a miniscule amount of extract.

French vanilla ice cream is vanilla ice cream in the French style. The ice cream is French not the vanilla.
French vanilla ice cream contains egg yolks.
Regular vanilla ice cream does not.
Lul, instead oft making vanilla mean (real) vanilla and calling fake "vanilla flavoured" or vanilin like a sane person
My favorite is French Toast. It's just "golden bread", pain doré.
