I think home fries is when you cut the potato in cubes and wedges (the recipe says 1 inch chunks) and then fry them.

Almost. Home fries, in my area, are flatter. So 1*1 square but 1/2 to 1/4 tall.

We just call those chunky chips.

Isn't that called "country potatoes"?

Those are baked in a skillet, not fried, says the cookbook. But YMMV.
