Potatoes

[tabbysmum]

Hi all, does anybody know how I can make a puree including potatoes without them going sticky and gluey, everything I make with potatoes just ends up in the bin as it's so sticky.

I had the same problem with my first and never did find a way to stop that happening. It's better once you can just mash them but pureed potatoes just don't work, nor does potato freeze very well, mashed or otherwise just to warn you about that one in advance!

We used sweet potatoes instead for anything that we would have used potatoes for. They're good for the babies as well and we later found that our LO would eat sweet potatoes baked etc and would rather that then normal potatoes. I really good first recipe for sweet potatoes is to puree them and add a little of your babies normal milk to them with a little cinammon. This was a hit with both my babies. It also freezes really well too.
Love,

Thanks Bobyn, wouldn't have thought of that - got to be an improvement on the gloop she's getting now!

I used to do the mash seperately with a masher, and then add it to the meat n veg mixture. Love sweet potatoes though they are yumeeee! Both my kids love them
