Green bean and potato mash

6 months+

A mild, soft-cooked green veg starter.

Ingredients

Good to know

No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.

Instructions

  1. Steam or boil a handful of green beans with one peeled, cubed potato until both are very soft, about 12 minutes.
  2. Blend or mash with a little cooking water.
  3. For older babies, cut soft-cooked green beans into short lengths rather than serving whole.
