Courgette and Potato Baby Mash (6+ Months)
A gentle green mash of steamed courgette and fluffy potato, perfect for introducing savoury flavours from 6 months. Made with no added salt and finished with a little of your baby's usual milk. Safety note: check the temperature before serving; never add honey under 12 months.
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 small courgette, trimmed and sliced
- 3 tbsp baby's usual milk (or water)
Method
- Peel and cube the potato. Trim the courgette and cut into thick slices — no need to peel.
- Steam the potato until nearly tender.
- Add the courgette slices and steam until both vegetables are very soft.
- Mash or blend with your baby's usual milk to the texture that suits their stage — silky smooth for first tastes, or roughly mashed with soft lumps from around 7 months.
- Cool to lukewarm, test on the inside of your wrist, and serve.
Chef's note: Suitable from 6 months. No added salt — season nothing for babies under 12 months. Courgette holds a lot of water, so drain well before mashing. Freeze in cubes for up to 3 months and defrost overnight in the fridge.
