These are perfect for small family breakfasts on the weekends, nice and tender from the potato and moist and fragrant with the bananas. A sweet cinnamon and date filling seals the deal!

These are wonerful! I made them for my husband to take to work for breakfast. I did use rasins insted of dates. I thought it was neat that it called for potatoes and potatoe water, I remember my Great Grandmother telling me they used that combo alot durring the depretion. Too cool! There is alot to learn from that generation of cooks/bakers! Thanks for another great recipe Jo - Jo
