⚠️ Contains allergens: milk, egg

Ingredients

• • 2 medium Boiled potato (mashed)
• • 1 small Carrot (finely grated)
• • 1 small Zucchini (finely grated, excess water gently squeezed out)
• • 3 tablespoons Low-salt white cheese (grated or crumbled)
• • 1 piece Egg
• • 2 tablespoons Milk
• • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• • 1 tablespoon Finely chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)
• • 1 pinch Salt (a tiny amount, optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Wash your hands and the bowl, grater and baking dish well. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Boil the potatoes until soft, peel them and mash smoothly with a fork. Finely grate the carrot and zucchini, and gently squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini.

3. 3

   Gently sauté the carrot and zucchini in a little olive oil for 3-4 minutes, until soft and glossy. This helps your child chew them more easily.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, mix the mashed potato, sautéed vegetables, grated cheese, egg and milk. If you like, you can add a very small pinch of salt and the finely chopped dill.

5. 5

   Spread the mixture into a lightly oiled baking dish and smooth the top. Keep the layer fairly thin so the middle cooks through.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the centre has set.

7. 7

   Let it cool until just warm before serving. Cut into small pieces that are easy to mash with a fork and suitable for your child's age, and stay beside them while they eat.
