chips/fries

French fries, or simply fries (North American English), chips (British and Commonwealth English), finger chips (Indian English) or french-fried potatoes, are batonnet or allumette-cut deep-fried potatoes.
French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of diners, fast food restaurants, pubs, and bars. They are usually salted and, depending on the country, may be served with ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine or chili cheese fries. Chips can be made from kumara or other sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant, oven chips, uses less oil or no oil. One very common fast food dish is fish and chips.

    Which sauce with fries?

    Home Fries - what do they mean to you?

    Home fries isn't a term used in the UK. As far as I can tell, they are what are called 'fried potatoes' in the UK but we also have a product (frozen) called 'Home Style Chips', versions of which are produced by most frozen food companies. They are chips (fries) lightly coated in some sort of...

    Chips (Fries) with...?

    What do you eat chips (fries in US) with? In the UK, salt and vinegar is 'traditional' especially when they are served with fish in batter (fish and chips).

    What can you make with cold leftover chips (french fries)?

    In another post @oddduck mentioned that leftover french fries were usually thrown away. Now I have to say that I don't often end up with leftover chips the following day - but surely there must be something inventive one could do with them? Any ideas?

    Home-made chips (fries)

    I've been making home-made chips (as opposed to cooking frozen oven chips :oops:) over the last few days. This is all to do with having turkey and other cold meat leftovers from Xmas.

    Chips, Not Fries!
