WHITE POTATOES!

White Potato Puree

Any amount of white potatoes you desire

Steaming:

1. Peel potatoes and cut into small chunks

2. Place chunks into a steamer basket you have inserted into a saucepan - add just enough water to see it rising up through the holes.

3. Steam until tender, be sure to check on the water level.

4. Reserve any left over water to use for thinning out the potatoes

5. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.

6. Keep a close watch on the potatoes while you are pureeing as they may turn into “wallpaper paste” if pureed too much!

7. Add the reserved water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency. You may also use breast milk or formula to make the puree if you wish.

Baking:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees and thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes

2. Poke holes in the potatoes and run under water 1 more time (this will hasten the baking time!)
3. Wrap wet potatoes in foil then place on the lowest rack in your oven.

You may not wish to use tinfoil due to a variety of personal reasons so skip the wrapping and simply put the potatoes into the oven.

4. Bake until tender, approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. Set a timer and turn the potatoes over half way through cooking time.

5. Follow step 5 above
