There's the well known Australian north and south divide on the correct term for a potato scallop. Hint, southerners: it's potato scallop, not potato cake, you bloody heathens.

But they're not. The potatoes get boiled. Then they're battered and then fried in oil.

I've got no dog in this fight, but it's the shape. Smallish, flattish, roundish things are cakes, like a cake of soap.

Ahh. I think it's a regional thing, because we don't use "cake" unless we're talking about actual cake. Possibly because mud cake is basically sacred to my people.

I'd call it a bar of soap, for example.

"Potato cake" makes me (born in Sydney, grew up in northern NSW, adulthood in QLD) think of either a [sweet] cake with potato as an ingredient in it, or something a bit like rösti.
