Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Potato
- 2 tablespoons (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Breast milk or formula
Instructions
Wash the potato thoroughly under running water and peel it using a vegetable peeler.
Cut the peeled potato into small cubes for faster and even cooking.
Place the potato cubes into a small saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, or until they are soft and fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. If desired, use a blender for an even creamier consistency.
Add the unsalted butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and breast milk or prepared formula to the mashed potato. Stir well until the cheese is fully melted and everything is combined.
Let the mixture cool to a safe temperature before serving it to your baby.
