British English for what Americans call a french fry — a piece of potato cut into strips or chunks and deep-fried.
British English for what Americans call a french fry — a piece of potato cut into strips or chunks and deep-fried. The singular chipped potato emphasises the process: chipping means cutting into pieces, and the potato is then fried. In British fish-and-chip-shop culture, chips (the plural) are a national institution, and the more formal chipped potato occasionally appears in menus, newspapers, or contexts where precision matters. Think fat, soft British chip rather than the thin crispy American fry.
