Yep.

The contentious but somewhat agreed upon story of how this happened is roughly: US troops discover 'fries' in restaurants in Belgium, after WW1, but in an area of Belgium with mostly French speakers.

Americans appreciate alliteration, and don't care so much for actual accuracy, so... 'French Fries'.
