This potato and carrot mash has a mellow garlic flavor that your baby will love. Tasty and filling, with a little bit of texture, this can be eaten on its own or as the base for a bigger meal. The ideal way to introduce garlic to your baby, and it works for spoon fed babies or baby led weaning families.
Place the carrots and potatoes in a steamer (either an electric steamer or using a steaming basket) and sprinkle the garlic slices on top.
Steam for up to 30 minutes, until carrots and potatoes are soft.
Mash until you get your desired texture. Add in cheese, if using, and stir through until melted.
If the mixture is thick, add some of the steaming water or some milk to loosen it up.
Notes
If you want this to be a smoother, runnier puree: After steaming, blend the carrots until smooth. Run the potatoes through a potato ricer and then add the blended carrots and cheese and stir through. Add milk as needed to thin it out.
