Terminological fried potato question

Before the play, we had pub grub at John Barleycorn. It was their "all you can eat" (yes, we pretty much exhausted the jokes on that) fish fry night (why Wednesday?) and two of our party went for it. What I found amusing is that [livejournal.com profile] welcomerain's "fish 'n' chips" was actually fish and crisps. What I found even more amusing is that one of the waiters called these "cottage fries", causing me to wonder if this isn't one of the slipperiest culinary terms ever.

What do you understand by the term "cottage fries"? And is it different from "home fries"?
