I am going to assume they are what Americans call french fries. However one should never assume. So what the heck are they?

Crisps are what we English call the American version of potato chips! Chips, on the other hand are what we call American version of french fries!! Hope that clears up the confusion :-)

Americans call them potato chips
The British word "chips" refers to American French fries.

Crisps are what our UK friends call potato chips. BUT, they are different because they have a GREAT variety of flavors. We have a British Store here and I cannot get enough of prawn or steak and onion crisps. Then again, I HATE that store as I cannot walk out without spending $50-100 on candy, ales, bacon, bangers....
...anyone who has said British cuisine is bad has never eaten it! Matter of fact, I'm having bubble and squeek for lunch!

They are potato chips. What you call fries, we call chips over here. Gotta add, my favourites are walkers crisps, love Worcester sauce flavour.
