Oh yes, with bacon and eggs. Mmmmmmmm........Though my nan used to make them for Monday night tea - with a big pan sized one for Grandad. Dinner would have been 'resurrection' i.e. Sunday's leftovers warmed up, and then she saved the leftover taters for the tea.

There might be taters in the Lembas, but I always think of it as a bit like Ship Biscuit but nicer and with less maggots and weevils.
