This potato and broccoli mash is a simple vegetable side. Cook the potato completely and check the broccoli stems carefully so the finished mixture has no hard chunks.
Wash and peel the potato; cut into small even cubes. Rinse broccoli and trim away any tough stem sections.
Steam the potato until soft, adding broccoli in time for both to become fully tender. Check the thickest pieces with a fork.
Blend or mash with a little safe cooking water until moist and spoonable; cool before serving.
Blend smooth for an early eater, or mash into soft pieces when your baby can handle texture. Do not assume potato and broccoli alone constitute an iron-rich or nutritionally complete meal.
Smooth.
Soft pieces allowed.
Potato and broccoli contain no intentionally added common major allergens; check any optional additions separately.
Refrigerate cooked, untouched mash promptly and reheat until thoroughly hot if needed. Stir, cool to serving temperature, and discard bowl leftovers.
