(British) A potato chip.
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.

(North America, Australia, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, NZ) A potato crisp, a thin slice of potato that has been fried.
