How to prepare each food
Potato
Potato is always cooked, never raw. Boil, steam, bake, or roast until very soft, then mash to a smooth purée or offer a finger-length soft-cooked wedge. A little breast milk, formula, or water loosens a stiff mash. Skip salt.
Smooth mash, or a soft finger-length wedge.
Cook potato until soft; raw or undercooked potato is hard. A very sticky, gluey mash can cling to the mouth, so loosen it or serve a fluffier texture. Keep pieces small and watch as your baby eats.
Quinoa
Cook quinoa until soft and let it cool to warm. Serve it as a thick mash, or stir cooked quinoa into a vegetable or fruit purée so it holds together on a spoon. It mixes well with iron-rich foods.
Serve as a thick mash or blended into a purée. No cutting needed.
Putting it together
Soft potato and quinoa patties with the vegetable of your choice, browned in a pan.
