French fries in a paper carton.
French fries (American English), chips (British English),[1] fries,[2] finger chips (Indian English), or French-fried potatoes are batonnet or allumette cut potato that are normally deep-fried but could also be cooked in an oven.[4][5] In the United States and most of Canada, the term fries refers to any fried elongated pieces of potatoes, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand, allumette cut fried potatoes are sometimes called shoestring fries to distinguish them from the batonnet cut chips. French fries are typically served hot, either soft or crispy, and they are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner, or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. French fries are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can also be topped more elaborately, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. Sometimes, fries are made from sweet potatoes instead of potatoes, are baked instead of fried, or are cut into a variety of shapes. *** Description sourced from Wikipedia.
