Description

These delicious little tots are packed with potato and butternut squash and make the perfect finger food for weaning babies and toddlers!


Ingredients

  • 250g / 9oz white potato, peeled
  • 250g / 9oz butternut squash, peeled
  • 40g / 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1.5 tbsp plain flour
  • 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 25g  / 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Chop the potato and butternut squash into bite sized pieces. Place them in a large saucepan, cover with boiling water and cook for approx 10 minutes until soft.
  2. Drain the vegetables completely and return them to the saucepan. Mash with a hand masher and then add the cheese, flour, garlic and herbs and mix well. At this point you can season with salt and pepper if you wish.
  3. Transfer the mash onto a plate and allow it to cool a little before shaping into small tots or nuggets, before rolling in the breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the tots for 3-4 minutes on either side until golden and crispy.
