Rule 1: Fries are American. Chips are BritishRule 2: Fries are fried. Chips are bakedRule 3: Fries and chips AND wedges refer to similar product but distinct cuts. Chips are thicker than fries, but skinnier than wedges. You could theoretically make a spectrum from mashed potato at one end to an entire baked potato at the other, and fries, chips and wedges cover a specific part of said spectrum

>>21714116All long cut potatoes are fries. The British are just wrong. Glad I could help.
>>21714117this
>>21714116You french the potato and then you fry it. Frenched fries, or just fries for short. If you chipped a potato and fried it you would make chipped fries or just chips for short.
>>21714116All these words are just labels. All that ultimately matters is eating potatoes
>>21714140Frenching and chipping are technical terms for how to prepare a potato. How do you enjoy eating the humble tater most?
>>21714141Hash browns. After grating and rinsing, I use my aeropress to squeeze out as much water as possible. This works much better than a potato ricer. Then I add simple seasonings and cook in butter
>>21714143Ahhh more technical terminology for potato preperation! Hashed and browned. That's a cool idea to use the aeropress. I bet they come out pretty good.
>>21714150Listen to yourself
>>21714176Mash boil should be the proper term for boiled and mashed potatoes unless you bake them first, which some people do, and then it could be called mash bake. Whole baked works nicely and sounds pretty appetizing. Or is it only for when you actually cut a potato?
>>21714116>Chips are thicker than fries, but skinnier than wedgeschips are thicker than fries but cannot be compared with wedges. wedges can be of any thickness so long as they are cut from the potato as a wedge. small wedges are just as valid as big wedges
>>21714236I can imagine you scribbling and drawing potato diagrams on the walls of your solitary cell
>>21714248You just lack the questioning nature of a true thinking man. Consider more potatoes in your life. They'll help you break out of plato's cave one day, maybe.>>21714245Do we add the cooking method to the end of wedges? Aren't they baked sometimes? In your estimation are home fries an exception to the rule? Homing doesn't sound like a type of cut, but maybe it is.
