Makes sense to me. At least when one considers other usages of the word "chip," such as in computer chips:
Flat, rectangular objects.
Or wood chips, which may be any shape, but tend to be flat:
Potato chips are flat and come in various shapes and sizes. On the other hand, french fries are not really flat nor really "chip"-like. They're longer, and some are crinkly. Admittedly, "fries" is an imperfect term as well, as one might sometimes hear "home fries" which is what some people refer to as "hash browns" - also made from potatoes but cut differently than french fries.
