Potato and Carrot Fritters — A Soft Baked Snack for Age 2
Made with grated potato and carrot and baked instead of fried; a wonderfully soft snack that little hands can hold easily.
⚠️ Contains allergens: egg, gluten, milk
Ingredients
- 2 medium boiled and grated potato
- 1 piece grated carrot
- 1 piece egg
- 3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons grated low-salt white cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (to grease the tray and drizzle on top)
- 1 pinch black pepper (optional)
Directions
- 1
Boil the potatoes, let them cool, then coarsely grate them; grate the carrot too.
- 2
In a wide bowl, gently mix the potato, carrot, egg, flour, cheese and dill.
- 3
Take walnut-sized pieces of the mixture and flatten them lightly in your palm.
- 4
Arrange them on a paper-lined tray and drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top.
- 5
Bake in a preheated 190°C oven until golden, about 20-25 minutes; turn them gently once halfway through.
- 6
Remove from the tray, let them cool, and serve at a warmth that can be held comfortably with little fingers.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Potato provides carbohydrates for balanced energy, while carrot adds colour and variety with beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A). Egg and cheese add protein, and baking instead of frying helps use less oil. Their soft, easy-to-hold texture can support little ones' self-feeding (finger food).
Maiyko's note
Letting your child explore the fritters with their own hands gently supports both fine motor skills and a love of food. While Maiyko offers your little one GOTS-certified organic cotton comfort, it loves being by your side in these joyful moments.
