LOL... depends on your target audience... and guess what, to my ear,
you mean crisps =P
pommes frites.
The wide style of fried potatoes commonly known as chips in the U.K.
were already popular in the U.S. as "Fries", when some fancy NYC
restaurant introduced "French" (style) Fries in the 1890s or so.
The "French" in French Fries refers to very thin sliced strips of potato
in the French style, julienning, rather than to the frying in oil, which
is universal.
The potato deep fried in oil appears to be independently invented
where-ever the potato is known. Local styles differ, but it's the same
delicious food item where ever you roam.
