Scalloped potatoes are a milk based potato dish. The potatoes are usually sliced very thinly although what technically makes it 'scalloped' is the milk base. A gratin on the other hand is any dish that is topped with cheese and/or bread crumbs and layered with bits of butter and is baked until brown and crispy. People often get them confused and use the terms interchangeably. However, gratins can be made with a variety of vegetables.

Scalloped potatoes are made the same way as au gratin but the au gratin have cheese in it, and regular scalloped potatoes don't.

Scalloped has a white sauce, and au gratin has a cheese sauce.

Au gratin has cheese but scalloped doesn't, but other than that they are the same.
(I once knew someone that called them "hog rotten" instead of au gratin.:) )
