Final answer:
Thickly cut fries or wedges, often served with or without the skin, are called potato wedges. This style of potato is distinct from tater tots, crinkle-cut, or curly fries due to its wedge-like cut.
Step-by-step explanation:
The thickly cut fries or wedges that are fried with or without skins are called potato wedges. Option (d) potato wedges is the correct answer. Unlike tater tots which are grated potatoes formed into small cylinders and deep-fried, crinkle-cut fries which have a corrugated surface, or curly fries which are characterized by their spiral shape, potato wedges are cut from a whole potato into thick wedges with a wedge-like shape and are often seasoned and baked or fried. They can be served with or without the potato skin, depending on one's preference or the specific recipe used by a restaurant or cook.
