Soft Potato and Carrot Fritters — A Hand-Held Snack for Age 2
Grated potato and carrot combined with egg and whole wheat flour, baked with a little oil into tender fritters; an easy hand-held, gentle snack for children aged 2 and up.
⚠️ Contains allergens: egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 1 medium Potato (grated, liquid squeezed out)
- 1 small Carrot (finely grated)
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
- 1
Grate the potatoes and squeeze out the liquid well in your palm; reducing moisture helps the fritters cook soft without falling apart.
- 2
Grate the carrot very finely; a fine grate is safer and easier to swallow than large pieces.
- 3
Place the potato and carrot in a bowl; add the egg, whole wheat flour and dill, and mix gently into a soft batter.
- 4
Preheat the oven to 180°C; place small, flat rounds on a parchment-lined tray and drizzle a few drops of olive oil over them (you can also cook them in a pan with a little oil if you prefer).
- 5
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the edges turn golden and the insides are soft.
- 6
Let them rest until they reach finger-warm temperature before serving; have your child eat them seated and under your supervision, in small bites.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Potato is a gentle source of energy and potassium for your child's daily activity, while carrot adds beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A). The egg and whole wheat flour bring protein and fibre to the meal, making a filling snack. Baked with a little oil, this soft form can be practical for 2-year-olds learning to eat with their hands.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we believe in simplicity and seasonal vegetables in your child's snacks; preparing the fritters fresh at home, without adding salt and keeping the texture soft, supports an experience that is both safe and enjoyable.
