I'm American, and I'd call those steak fries. We also have potato wedges, which aren't called fries for some reason and look like this

They're seasoned with a spice blend, and delicious. Do you have curly fries in the UK? They're a similar flavor.

We have wedges and curly fries here in the UK too :). We have Chips, Fries, Curly Fries, Potato Wedges, Salt and Pepper chips, Ziggy Fries and many more I assume

Ziggy Fries

Had to google this, we call those crinkle-cut fries

we call those crinkle-cut fries

Not anymore. How can we go back after realizing Ziggy Fries is an option?

Why is it not Ziggy Chips? Sounds way better.

Might even tell people to call me that from now on…

Because they're fries not chips ;)

wedges might be the only one I would only ever refer to as wedges and never as chips, while fries, crisps, hot chips are all "chips" as an australian

Yes we do and they are delicious.
