I did not really know as I knew how to make scalloped potatoes but I got on this tater thing the other day and layered a bunch of stuff in a casserole dish and baked it and after I was done and talking about it someone said "Why that is scalloped potatoes" and I allowed as I did not like scallops and weren't no scallops in it and they told me that was not what it meant so I said "Okay" and I guess they are scalloped potatoes but I call 'em Scalped Taters. So I made another batch today just to see if it was a fluke or if they actually did taste as good as they tasted the first time and yes indeed they sure do.

I think maybe the term scalloped potatoes comes from the way they are laid in the dish. While scallops are a sea creature for sure, the term scalloped is also used to describe a pattern. I think I actually learned that recently in regards to some decorative woodwork or something, but the easiest way to see what I mean would probably be to do an image search for "scalloped hem."
Thank you but I was being sarcastic, I know what they are.
