 In Victoria, Tasmania, the south-eastern and Adelaide regions of South Australia, and the Riverina and the Murray River regions of New South Wales, they are referred to as "potato cakes".In the eastern and northern regions of New South Wales, Queensland, and the ACT the term "potato scallops", or simply "scallops" (and to avoid confusion, scallops eaten as seafood may be known as "sea scallops").In the central and peninsula regions of South Australia and in New Zealand, "potato fritter" is most common, while in Western Australia and Northern Territory it is a mixed bag as to which term is used.
