This whole thing is about fried potatoes, yet you guys go off on a tangent getting completely away from the subject. No wonder the World is fed up with yanks!

Jefferson was married to Martha Jefferson at the time.
Martha Jefferson & Sally Hemings were actually half sisters as Martha’s father had previously owned Sally’s mother.
During their time in France, Sally was thankfully able to negotiate freedom for her children.

Liberals screamed for over a decade that ‘French fries don’t even come from France!’ So obviously you are incorrect. 😉

That seems dubious as does the Hemmings story. My guess is that if potatoes were known anywhere as a food, there would also be cooking in fat. Find the origin of those two product and you have the origin of frying potatoes in fat.
As for Hemmings, I'm sure everything you say is true, except that if there were potatoes and fat in America before Hemmings, then so were fried potatoes.

The Florentines were the first to eat the fruits of both plants AND the first to deep-fry ANYTHING in Europe. Every other country/chef(yes, including Russia and Parmentier) followed. The influence of the Italian renaissance is not to be underestimated.
