Baked Potato-and-Carrot Fritters — a Soft Hand-Held Snack for 2 Years
Soft baked fritters where grated potato and carrot meet fresh dill. No frying; an easy snack that your two-year-old's little hands can hold comfortably, and a good fit for autumn.
⚠️ Contains allergens: egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 1 medium Potato (finely grated, excess liquid squeezed out)
- 1 piece Carrot (finely grated)
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fine flour
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- a few drops Olive oil (to grease the tray)
Directions
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C. Line a tray with baking paper and brush a few drops of olive oil over it.
- 2
Finely grate the potato and carrot. Squeeze the excess liquid from the potato with a clean cloth or in your palm, so the fritters hold together better.
- 3
Beat the egg in a bowl, then add the grated potato, carrot, dill and flour and mix until smooth.
- 4
Scoop the mixture with a wet spoon and spread onto the tray, shaping each into a small, flat fritter about half a centimetre thick.
- 5
Bake at 190°C for 18-20 minutes until golden on top and bottom, turning once around the 10-minute mark.
- 6
Serve only once fully cooled. Before offering them to your child, cut into small, finger-sized strips; leave no round or hard pieces, and always have your child eat seated and under your supervision.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Potato gives a soft, satisfying texture and energy, while carrot adds colour, fibre and beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. Baking makes for a lighter result than frying. The flat, hand-held fritters can gently support your two-year-old's independence in eating and their fine motor skills.
Maiyko's note
Keeping the fritters plain apart from fresh dill makes room for your child to enjoy the taste of the vegetables themselves. At Maiyko we care that the ingredients reaching your child's table are as natural as the organic cotton against their skin.
