I think potato and sweet potato are mild. Is it okay to start solids with one of them?

Both are good choices for starting solids and commonly used. Potato and sweet potato are easy to digest, low allergy risk vegetables. Usually from 6 months onward, after boiling until soft and mashing into puree. Sweet potato's natural mild sweetness is sometimes more easily accepted by babies. If you want to start with one, thoroughly wash, peel, boil until soft, and mash with a fork into puree - adjust thickness with added water, breast milk, or formula in early weeks. Watch for reactions the first few days with just one vegetable so you understand what causes any issues if they arise.
