Las papas fritas (patatas fritas en España) son las papas que se preparan cortándose en rodajas o en forma de bastones y friéndolas en aceite caliente hasta que queden doradas, retirándolas del aceite y luego sazonándolas con sal. Pueden consumirse solas o aderezadas con kétchup, mayonesa u otras salsas. De esta forma se suelen servir como acompañante de las hamburguesas e incluso con platos fuertes como chuletas de cerdo, albóndigas, pollo frito, etc. También reciben este nombre las que se venden ya fritas en bolsas para aperitivo, denominadas «papas fritas inglesas» o «de bolsa». Son muy crujientes y normalmente se presentan en forma de rodajas.

French fries (American English), chips (British English), fries, finger chips (Indian English), or French-fried potatoes are batonnet or allumette cut deep-fried potatoes. In the United States and most of Canada, the term fries refers to all dishes of fried elongated pieces of potatoes, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand, thinly cut fried potatoes are sometimes called shoestring fries to distinguish them from the thicker-cut chips. French fries are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack, and they commonly appear on the menus of fast food restaurants. Fries in America are generally salted and are often served with ketchup; in many countries they are topped instead with other condiments or toppings, including vinegar, mayonnaise, or other local specialties. Fries can be topped more heavily, as in the dishes of poutine and chili cheese fries. French fries can be made from sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. A baked variant of the french fry uses less or even no oil.
