    Don't say fries cos they are skinny chips. I mean fat chips, what you call them?

          Fried potatoes as a part of a meal are called french fries (or "Freedom fries" by a select few).

          Fried potatoes as a cold snack are called "Chips".

            What it the "chips" are oven baked as part of a meal. You know like fish and chips.

              As Sherm said, they can be Steak Fries if thick enough. If not, just fries.

                just "fries" covers it pretty much, living in the UK for 6 month was just as tough to wrap mind around though, but helped!

                  Potato Chips are chips, french fries are fries.

                    There are traditional English Fish n Chip places in Canada but a lot less than they're used to be, when I was a kid Canada was a whole different place, tons of English and Scottish immigrants, so many adults had accents, especially retail workers, seemed like everybody who worked in a department store had a Scottish accent.

                    The snack food you call 'crisps' are just 'chips' or 'potato chips' here. Canada invented many of the flavors - my American relatives would come to visit and became Salt n Vinegar potato chips, they'd never seen them before. For years we'd send them to them until finally America had them.

                        It's a very sophisticated system. You've got your skinny 'shoestring fries' (mcdonalds). Then your medium thickness regular 'fries' (wendys) and 'crinkle cut fries' (burger king). And then you have big 'steak fries' or even larger 'wedges' (kfc).
