As an Aussie kid I was often misled

In Spanish French fries are 'papitas fritas' and potato chips are 'papitas' but either one can be just called 'papitas.' I understand your pain.

I sometimes call them hot chips and "crisps" I sometimes refer to as Smith's because that's the most well-known brand of chips in Australia.

You can generally tell from context...

These chips look weird tho

I usually say chips and hot chips

Hot chips and chipd

Chips

in aussie tho left is usually hot chips

Chips and chippies. Anyone else?

in Australia you can also call the ones on the left hot chips but they are mostly just called chips.

in portuguese we call 'fried potatoes' to all of them.

It's chips and chips in Canada , too
