NoChips are deep fried and saute are par-boiled and then shallow fried.
Pan seared are shallow fried raw and are usually quite small pieces to ensure that they are cooked fully in the short space of time that they are in the pan. They are also cooked in a greased pan, not shallow fried (which is suggestive of a small depth of standing oil).
