Broccoli and potato mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small potato
- 4 florets broccoli
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1–2 tbsp your baby's usual milk
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Peel and cube the potato; steam 12 minutes, adding the broccoli for the last 6.
- Mash with the oil and milk, leaving green flecks and soft lumps.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Mash potato with a fork or masher, not a blender — blended potato turns to glue.
Storage: Fridge 2 days.
Tip: Potato takes on the flavour of whatever it is mashed with, which makes it the vehicle for greens a baby has not warmed to yet.
