Every 100 kcal of scalloped potatoes brings 3.3 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 70th of the 105 vegetables in this database and 604th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 2.87 g per 100 g ranks 23rd in its group.
Around 13% of the calories in scalloped potatoes come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in scalloped potatoes: 3.68 g of fat per 100 g against 2.87 g of protein, a ratio of 0.8 to 1.
Set against frozen green peas, another vegetable entry in the database, a serving carries about 1.2 g less protein (frozen green peas has 8.2 g per 1 cup cooked).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is measured by volume at 245 g, and it covers about 14% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

How much protein do you get per 100 calories of scalloped potatoes?
3.3 g. That figure divides its 2.87 g of protein per 100 g by its 88 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Is the protein in scalloped potatoes complete?
No. On its own, the protein in scalloped potatoes is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.
What share of the protein Daily Value is one serving of scalloped potatoes?
About 14%. One 1 cup serving has 7 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
