Tips

usage
Literally 'fried potato strips'. The everyday term is 薯条 (shǔtiáo) — what you'll see on most McDonald's-style menus. 炸土豆条 is the descriptive/northern variant.
register
土豆 (tǔdòu, 'earth bean') is the northern Mandarin word for potato; in Taiwan and parts of the south, 土豆 means 'peanut' instead. 马铃薯 (mǎlíngshǔ) is the more universally understood word for potato.
