potato crisps

Thin fried slices

Potato crisps are thin slices of potato fried until crisp and typically salted or flavored—called potato chips in American English.

The British term distinguishes them from chips, which Americans call French fries: a packet of cheese and onion crisps.

Often shortened to crisps.
