Homemade baby food- what have I done wrong?

blending potato never seemed to work for me as well, always ended up like glue.

Potato on its own never worked well for me either. It always went funny when I defrosted it as well. I think its just cause it seperates and goes yukky.
Butternut pumpkin mixed with a little bit of potato semmed to work well though. Mostly pumpkin and just small bit of potato.

Hmmm.. yes Nic it is ok once I remash it with a fork. Just didn't think I'd have to do that once I'd blended it! Oh well, lesson learned. Won't try potato on it's own again. Now I just have` to work my way through the mammoth amount left in the freezer (note to self- am cooking for one baby, not an army of them).

hi. (newbie here - just noseying your thread),
I was wondering if the variety of potatoe used affects the outcome of the mashing/blending and freezing....? Waxy types are more likey to go lumpy.

I always had problems with potato when freezing as well. I found though that mixing it with something else helped.

I've mixed potato with pureed apple to make it smoother - not that DD ate it! but it was a nicer consistency!
