Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Coarsely grate the boiled, cooled potato and finely grate the carrot.

  3. 3

    Place the grated potato and carrot in a large bowl; add the egg, whole wheat flour, grated cheese and dill, and mix gently.

  4. 4

    Using a moistened spoon, shape the mixture into small, flat fritters, arrange them spaced apart on the tray and drizzle with a little olive oil.

  5. 5

    Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden and the texture stays soft.

  6. 6

    Let the fritters cool to lukewarm before serving.

  7. 7

    Safety for age 2: Before offering, cut the fritters into small, soft pieces and always make sure your little one is seated and supervised while eating (to reduce the risk of choking).

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

With its soft texture and energy, potato — together with carrot's natural sweetness and its beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A — makes this snack colorful and nourishing. Egg and cheese add a small amount of protein, while baking offers a lighter option than frying. The soft, holdable texture can gently help support your 2-year-old's self-feeding skills.

Maiyko's note

In the Maiyko kitchen we lean on fresh, seasonal vegetables whenever we can; baking these fritters instead of frying them gives your little one a lighter, softer texture. If you like, serve them alongside a bowl of plain yogurt.
