I think they have both the elements of potato cake and potato bread. I used canned potatoes (I have no patience to boil whole potatoes, canned ones are pre-softened, and I think dry mash potato mix tastes like soap lol), mushed them with an electric beater, but since I'm vegetarian I don't use bacon no less bacon fat...so cooking spray it was. They came out really good! Tasty with ketchup and also with applesauce.
