Shortened from Pommes frites and provided with a German plural. The abbreviation may have been under the direct influence of French frites, since the more widespread short form (outside of western Germany) is Pommes.

Fritten f pl (plural only)

1. fries, french fries, chips (UK)
2. plural of Fritte (“a single fry”)

• In parts of Western Germany, Fritten is the preferred word for fries, alongside the less frequent Pommes. In most other regions, the situation is converse: Pommes is much more common, while Fritten is rare while generally understood.^[1]
