Are potatoes beneficial for toddlers?

July 06, 2022

 


The potato is a food to which many myths are attributed, for instance, that being a carbohydrate it influences us to gain weight. However, we ignore that there are many more benefits that this product can bring to our health from our first years of life.

However, to maintain its nutritional properties it is important to highlight two points. First, do not consume it in large quantities, the portion you serve to your child should be according to his age. Second, potatoes are best prepared steamed or baked and avoid cooking them in oil or use little vegetable oil.

Here we sharing an easy and quick recipe to prepare

Mashed potato with broccoli 🥔🥦

This pure can be made as lunch or for your little one's dinner.

You only need:

  • 5 potatoes
  • Broccoli
  • Butter
  • Milk (what your child normally drinks)
  • Cheese (the one you have at home and the one your child has tried before)
Preparation:

In a steamer put the water to heat, meanwhile peel the potatoes and cut them into small squares so that they are faster. Once the water is boiling put the potatoes to cook for approximately 15 minutes. There you can also include the broccoli to cook during the last minutes of the potato cooking time.

With a knife or a fork check that the potatoes are soft, if they are soft remove them from the pot, pour them into a bowl and start mashing the potatoes. Add half a tablespoon of butter and half a glass of milk to make the mashed potatoes smooth.

You can finely chop the broccoli 🥦 and add it to the mashed potatoes. 🥔

Finally, grate the cheese, you can stir it into the mashed potatoes or put it on top as decoration (it depends on your creativity).
