message: Am I right in thinking that this is just a US name for what the rest of the world calls fried potatoes or Sautéd potatoes? In which case  might one of those provide a more WP:CSB name for this article?  Or just merge in with Sautéing and have done - there's already quite a bit on the potato angle there, and it might be more satisfactory to have one bigger article than two smaller ones. I've also reduced the suggestion that it is a global thing to have potatoes with breakfast - that's very much a North American thing, even in a seriously spudoholic country like the UK, carbs at breakfast are usually from grains rather than potatoes. As one reference for that, Leiths New Cookery Bible has no mention of hash browns, potato waffles etc in her breakfast section - although she does give wine suggestions, I like her style :-)))  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FlagSteward (talk • contribs) 14:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds to me like what British people just call chips.  :-D  Potatoes cut up into chunks and deep-fried, that's just British home-made chips, except that most people (to my knowledge) cut the skins off, and do not parboil first.  To this end, I have added the Chips article under See also.  leevclarke (talk) 21:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Hmm but if you read the article  it was clear than as it is even more now that home fries are apparently not deep fried.... Nil Einne (talk) 17:29, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: US variant?

message: A few humble suggestions:  in my experience, home fries (also known in the U.S. as cottage fries) are never shredded (hash browns are shredded.)   Par-cooked potatoes are cut into cubes (usually larger than dice), then fried in vegetable oil and butter.  I wouldn't say that "chopped onions, pepper and other ingredients" are "typically" added.  They can be added, but after fifty years of eating home fries throughout the United States, I'd say they're more often served by themselves, or with ketchup.  If home fries have chopped green bell peppers added to them, they're referred to as "Potatoes O'Brien."

thread_title:  Nomenclature/Physical Description 

message: In the UK, oven chips are precoated potato chips, coated with a very small amount of oil so no oil is added at cooking time. The result is very low fat, though the eating quality doesnt compare that well with deep fried chips.

thread_title: Oven chips

message: "house fries (US), cottage fries (US), American fries (US) or fried potatoes (UK & regional US) "
I've lived in the US most of my life and have never heard any of these variants, and there are no references.
I googled Cottage Fries, and other than being potatoes, they are nothing like Home Fries.  According to most recipies online, Cottage Fries are "Oven Roasted Potatoe Rounds"
If you search for American Fries, you get the US version of french fries.
Unless there are any references, I'm going to pull these out of the article. --Tcxspears (talk) 21:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
