french fries

Etymology
Clipping of earlier (1856) and, potatoes supposedly prepared in the French style.

Noun

 * 1)  Strips of deep-fried potatoes that have been frenched (cut into strips).

Usage notes
In the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, deep-fried potato strips are generally and traditionally called chips. However, with exposure to the "french fries" on the menus of US-origin fast food outlets, the term "french fries" (or just "fries") has for many people come to mean, specifically, "chips" of the type usually served in those outlets, which are generally thinner, and also possibly crispier, than the traditional British "chip".
