These are perfect for Passover. The Yiddish word for plantain is kokhbanan קאכבאנאַן
I'm excited to learn the Yiddish word for plantain, my favorite food in the world. ;-) In Africa, I'd eat baked plantain with roasted peanuts (tasty street food). Here I eat them with mozzarella or feta cheese. I'll try the sour cream and brown sugar next time.
