Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Choose a fresh, firm and blemish-free potato. Wash it well, peel it, and generously cut away any sprouted or greenish parts.

  2. 2

    Cut the potato into small, even cubes so it cooks faster and more evenly.

  3. 3

    Place the cubes in a steamer basket and steam for 12-15 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Transfer the cooked potato to a bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork, or blend until smooth.

  5. 5

    Add the boiled, cooled water little by little to reach a silky, flowing consistency. If you like, you can add a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil.

  6. 6

    Serve the purée lukewarm; check the temperature on your wrist before offering it. Introduce each new ingredient one at a time, three days apart.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Thanks to its starch, potato is a gentle source of energy and can add a soft, easy-to-digest new texture to your baby's table at this stage. The vitamin C and potassium it contains may contribute to a balanced diet. When well cooked and smoothly mashed, it creates a velvety, easy-to-swallow consistency for babies just starting spoon feeding.

Maiyko's note

At Maiyko we value simplicity and natural ingredients in your baby's first tastes; if you can, choose a fresh, organic potato and peel it just before cooking to keep it fresh.
