The US does have "potato wedges" which might be closer to what you're calling "chips" here.

Though we also have "steak fries" which are thicker fries

Potato wedges are also a thing in the UK. They're distinct from chips in their shape; chips tend to be thick and rectangular, without skin. I tried googling steak fries, but it just kept coming back with pictures of wedges, and briefly considered we might actually be referring to different things when we each say wedges, so I promptly shut that can of worms, as we don't need more transatlantic dissension over potato based snacks.

Lol.... The main archetype I think of when I say "potato wedges" would be the ones you get at KFC.

So that might help if you're curious to see what I'm actually referring to.
