To end the confusion

In the U.S.

Potato Chips

Fried Potatoes –also in diced form

French Fries –crinkle cut

French Fries –regular cut

Shoestring Potatoes or Potato Sticks
Potato chips in a different form

Tater Tots
Difference with French Fries –crunchier outside, mushier inside

Potato Wedges

Buy Fish & Chips in the US and get wedges.
It's a rare place in the US that would bake them. Almost all are deep fried. A few chips claim to be baked.

I heard something on Jim Hightower, that in the UK, Pringles came up with some crazy argument about their "crips" so they were taxed at a lower rate. I think it was in the UK they were claiming Pringles were sliced potatoes, where in the US they could never get away with that.
