chips Chipped potatoes; pieces of potato deep fried in fat or oil. Known in French as pommes frites or just frites; in the USA potato crisps are known as chips, and chips are called French fries or just fries. A 200‐g portion is a rich source of vitamins C and B₁; a source of protein, niacin, and iron; fat content depends on the size of the chip and the process: commonly about 25 g, but can be 40 g in fine‐cut chips and as little as 8 g in frozen, oven‐baked chips. A 200‐g portion with an average of 25 g of fat supplies 500 kcal (2100 kJ); with 40 g of fat, supplies 700 kcal (2900 kJ); low‐fat, oven‐baked supplies 300 kcal (1260 kJ). See also crisps.

chips.
1. The pieces cut off timber in the royal dockyards in Britain during the days of wooden ships when the dockyard carpenters shaped planks etc. for shipbuilding and repairs. They were by tradition the perquisites of the carpenters and shipwrights, and could legally be carried out of the dockyard. It was a system which lent itself to considerable abuse, and whole planks and other timber were often carried out on the grounds that they were chips. There were many cases, particularly during the 17th century, when dockyard officials were found to have built whole houses and much of their furniture out the ‘chips’ they had taken out the dockyards.

2. In the US Navy, the ship's carpenter is nicknamed ‘Chips’.
