Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 0.5 cup Cooked ham (finely diced)
- 1 cup Unsalted vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk or formula (optional, for texture)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, baby-appropriate pieces for easy blending and cooking.
In a medium saucepan, add the diced potatoes and the vegetable or chicken broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and add the diced ham and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter melts and the ham is warmed through.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding milk or formula 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to achieve the desired consistency for your baby.
Let the mixture cool completely before portioning it into ice cube trays or small freezer-safe containers for individual servings.
Freeze the portions until solid, then transfer them to a labeled freezer bag for long-term storage (up to 3 months).
Reheat individual servings as needed by microwaving or warming gently in a saucepan until they reach a safe serving temperature. Always check the temperature before feeding your baby.
