Red Potatoes!

1.  Red potatoes are easily digested and great for babies 6 months and up.  The red skin has a ton of vitamins and minerals in it.  I like to leave a little skin in the potatoes after I have cooked them before I blend them.



2.  Cut them in half and then add to boiling pan about 1/2 full of water.





3.  Boil on high for about 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft to the touch.  Once cooled off and drained, peel off 90% of the skin before blending.



4.  Place in blender and mix with breast milk, water, or formula to desired consistency.  A hint, it only takes a few table spoons of liquid to blend the potatoes with.  Potatoes liquefy very well by themselves so not much liquid will be needed.

5.  It is ok if you see a little bit of skin once blended.  This will only enhance the flavor and pack a nutritious punch for your little one.  :)
