Egg & Sweet Potato Mash for Babies

Fully cooked egg and tender sweet potato combine into a soft spoon-fed meal. Use a firm cooked yolk rather than a runny soft-boiled egg, and ensure the potato has no hard pieces.

Ingredients

  • 1 fully hard-boiled egg, cooked and cooled in advance
  • 1/4 cup (55g) cooked, tender sweet potato

Preparation

  1. Use the fully hard-boiled egg and already cooked, tender sweet potato specified above; both must be cooked and cooled before this no-cook assembly step. Do not interpret the zero-minute assembly time as sufficient to cook a raw egg.

  2. Peel the egg and finely chop or mash the firm white and yolk. Mash the soft sweet potato until completely smooth.

  3. Mix thoroughly, adding a little safe water if needed until moist and spoonable, with no dry egg clumps or firm potato pieces. Check serving temperature and offer promptly.
