Home fries (US), house fries (US), cottage fries (US), American fries
(US) or fried potatoes (UK) are a type of basic potato dish made by pan-
or skillet-frying chunked, sliced, wedged or diced potatoes that are
sometimes unpeeled and may have been par-cooked by boiling, baking,
steaming, or microwaving.
