Brunch menu for a hotel
"Estación de Tostadas Francesas:
Crema Chantilly, Fresas, Blueberries y Raspberries, Sirope de Maple, Compota de Manzanas y Canela, Sábanas de Papas Hervidas"
These are several toppings for French toast that you can ask the Chef (or the server, actually) to serve you as you go along the buffet line.
I have no idea how to express this in a way that sounds appetizing! (certainly "boiled potatoes" doesn't sound appealing to me at all, yuck!)
I would like this in U.S. English, preferably, although it *is* for a hotel, so many diners would actually be from other nationalities, not only from the U.S.
Gracias :)
P.S.: yes, blueberries and raspberries ARE in English in the original, these menus are all a mixed bag of both languages... Hey, this is Panama, what can I say? ;)

Note from asker:
| Gracias, teju, me sirve :) Yo odio las papas hervidas, puáj, y me parece RARÍSIMO ponerlas encima de las tostadas francesas. Pero este menú está lleno de cosas raras, anyway... ;P |

Comment: "Thanks, everyone! It was indeed this. Maybe I just misunderstood and thought the potatoes were a TOPPING for French toast, and they were just a side dish... Some people do eat potatoes at breakfast (not me! :P), but these were not hash browns, anyway... ;)"

Note from asker:
| Gracias, Mike. Eso me hace pensar: ¿no serán "scalloped potatoes" al fin y al cabo? |

Blanket of boiled potatoes
Menú de un hotel de méjico en el cual la sábana es un filet fino de carne de res en varias salsas.
"Sábanas (filetes de res)
1.-Sábana a la Cazuela En su jugo, con cebolla, chile serrano y cilantro.
2.-Sábana Tres Salsas Con nopales y salsa verde, amarilla y roja.
3.-Sábana Borracha Con salsa de chile pasilla, tequila y queso.
4.-Sábana Divorciada Con salsa de chipotle y flor de calabaza.
5.-Sábana de Invierno Con frijoles refritos, salsa verde y queso morral."
¿Será que en tu hotel se pueda sustituir el filet por lonchas de papas?
¿Las prepararán al horno en una fina capa?
¿Las lonchas de papas, vendrán con salsa?
Creo que sí, de otra manera sería como comer cartón.

potato pancakes? hash browns?
Just a guess, but I cannot imagine any of the other options next to French Toast.... (or on top of it!)

sounds delicious, but where are the potatoes? ;-)

potato wraps
sabanas can be thin sheets of pastry or other things to make things like 'empanadillas', so this is a guess which I might go for
