french fries are pommes frites. the french term is also used in germany (though sometimes shortened to pommes or fritten).

"Pommes frites" is German, not French. (It might have been French in the past, but nobody says that in French anymore.)

a term falling out if use does not make it foreign. even if no longer common pommes frites is still a french term. the french wikipedia page also does not give any indication that the term is no longer used.
