Beef Apple Potato Mash for Babies (8 months+)

Soft apple and potato keep finely cooked ground beef moist. Ground beef should reach a measured safe temperature before being blended into an infant-ready mash.

Ingredients

  • 40g raw ground beef
  • 1 small potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 apple, peeled, cored and diced
  • 60ml safe water, plus extra as required
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Peel and dice potato, wash and core apple fully and remove all seeds before dicing.

  2. Simmer potato and apple with measured safe water until starting to soften.

  3. Add ground beef and break it into small pieces while simmering; measure at least 71°C (160°F) for ground beef with a food thermometer rather than relying on colour.

  4. Continue until apple and potato squash completely, then blend or finely mash everything with enough safe cooking liquid to avoid dry meat lumps.

  5. Stir in optional olive oil and cool to feeding temperature, checking there are no firm pieces.

Serving by Age

Offer as a soft spoon-fed mash with no firm potato, apple peel or dry clumps of beef. Add safe cooking water if the mixture is too dense.
