Cold fruit and fries (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chips

'fries' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold fruit' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'fruit' becomes 'hips' (I've seen this before).
'c'+'hips'='CHIPS'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for chips that I've seen before include "Goodbye, Mr -, novel" , "Fries; golf shots" , "Gaming counters" , "Fried potatoes" , "Casino currency" .)
