Sweetcorn and potato mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 4 min
- Cook: 12 min
- Makes: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small potato
- 4 tbsp sweetcorn, frozen or tinned without added salt
- 1 tbsp your baby's usual milk
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
Contains: Milk
Method
- Peel, dice and steam the potato 12 minutes; add the sweetcorn for the last 4.
- Blend the sweetcorn with the milk until smooth, then mash into the potato with the butter.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Corn blended smooth at this age; whole kernels come later, squashed.
Storage: Fridge 2 days.
Tip: Sweetcorn skins do not break down in a baby's mouth, so the corn is blended here and the potato mashed around it.
