Hassleback refers to the cut of the potato as well as the dish itself.

Scalloped potatoes are traditionally layered and stacked, mine are vertically arranged similar to hassleback so there's a combination of crispy edges with the creaminess of au gratin.

no, no, I'm certain I've seen this dish before. That's ratatouille!

seriously, though. That looks good.

Though similar in presentation, ratatouille is traditionally made with tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, onions, or eggplant. Veggies

it's a [not obvious I suppose] joke

You're making scalloped potatoes.

Can you not see the irrationality in trying to connect your preparation to this preparation?

It's just as irrational to say that I made scalloped-potatoes style and ended up with this hassle back. I mean, come on.

No need to try and be rude, there are literally hundreds of recipes called hassleback au gratin, hassleback scalloped, or variations of that. Like I said, hassleback also refers to the presentation, not just the specific recipe.
