french fry
Potato diner staple
French fries are strips of potato deep-fried until golden and crisp, typically salted and served as a side dish.
Americans say french fries or just fries; the British say chips.
The lowercase spelling is standard, though menus sometimes capitalize.
To french in cooking means to cut into long thin strips—the fries are frenched potatoes.
