Have you ever baked them? Dot them with butter, add a little OJ and bake til they are browning slightly. I used to do them @350 degrees. No matter how big a pan I made of them, the kids always ate every one. Even when I was trying for leftovers. I have also nuked them with some butter and a little OJ. they are better bakes.

We also used to have a 'salad' of them, sliced in half the long way and dotted with PB & mayonaise.

Mom grew up in Honduras and I think some of this may come from there.
