Baked Potato and Carrot Fritters — A Soft, Colourful Snack for 2-Year-Olds
Soft, oven-baked fritters made with grated potato and carrot. A colourful, filling finger-food snack for your two-year-old.
⚠️ Contains allergens: egg, milk, gluten
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 150 g) Boiled potato (grated)
- 1 small (about 60 g) Carrot (finely grated)
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 tablespoons Wholewheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Grated light white cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for the tray and on top)
Directions
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C and line a tray with baking paper.
- 2
Finely grate the boiled potato and raw carrot, then gently squeeze out the excess moisture.
- 3
Add the egg, flour, grated cheese and dill and mix into a soft batter.
- 4
With damp hands, shape small flat patties, arrange them on the tray and drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the top.
- 5
Bake at 190°C for 20-25 minutes, until lightly golden, keeping the centre nice and soft.
- 6
Once cooled, cut into finger-length strips for a 2-year-old and serve with plain yoghurt; always stay beside your little one while they eat.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Potato gives your little one gentle energy and complex carbohydrates, while carrot adds colour, fibre and beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. Egg and cheese contribute protein and calcium; baking instead of frying keeps the recipe lighter. These hand-held strips can gently support your two-year-old's self-feeding skills.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we love meals that are simple, fresh and colourful. Prepare these fritters with little oil and no added salt; using fresh dill brightens both the flavour and the colour on the plate.
