Tender Potato Beef Patties for Babies
Toddlers

Delicately soft and savory potato beef patties crafted for babies, blending nutrient-rich minced beef and tender potatoes into bite-sized, easy-to-digest portions.

Ingredients

• 300 g beef tenderloin or lean beef
• 200 g potatoes
• 50 g sweet corn kernels
• 30 g green vegetables
• 15 g white starch powder
• 2 slices fresh ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel and chop the potatoes

   

   Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into small, even chunks to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.

   Tip: Cutting the potatoes into uniform pieces will help them steam perfectly at the same time.
2. 2Steam the potatoes

   

   Place the potato chunks into a heatproof dish and transfer them to a steamer. Steam until the potatoes are completely tender and can be easily mashed.

   Tip: You can check the doneness by piercing a potato chunk with a fork; it should slide in with no resistance.
3. 3Slice the beef

   

   While the potatoes are steaming, prepare the beef. Cut the raw beef into thin slices or small pieces to make it easier to process later.

   Tip: Using a tender cut of beef will result in a softer patty that is perfect for babies.
4. 4Soak the beef

   

   Transfer the sliced beef to a bowl of water. Add a few slices of fresh ginger and some green onion stalks. Let it soak to draw out any excess blood and neutralize odors.

   Tip: Soaking the beef with aromatics ensures the final patties have a clean, savory flavor without any gaminess.
5. 5Transfer beef to a processor

   

   Drain the beef thoroughly, discarding the soaking water, ginger, and green onions. Place the drained beef pieces into a small food processor.

   Tip: Make sure to remove all the aromatics before blending so the flavor isnt overpowering for your baby.
6. 6Blend into a paste

   

   Pulse the beef in the food processor until it becomes a smooth, fine paste. This texture is essential for making soft patties that will melt easily in your babys mouth.

   Tip: If the meat is too dry to blend smoothly, you can add a tiny splash of fresh water to help it along.
7. 7Add ingredients to the beef

   

   Add corn kernels, chopped green vegetables, and white starch powder into the minced beef mixture contained in the cup.

   Tip: Ensure the starch is well distributed to help bind the mixture together.
8. 8Mix the ingredients

   

   Thoroughly stir and mix the meat mixture together using wooden chopsticks until well combined and slightly sticky.

   Tip: Mix in one direction to develop a better texture for the patties.
9. 9Prepare the frying pan

   

   Brush a non-stick frying pan with a thin layer of cooking oil to ensure the patties will not stick during cooking.

   Tip: Use a silicone brush for an even, thin layer of oil.
10. 10Shape the patties

    

    Take a portion of the meat mixture and shape it into a small round patty on a gloved hand.

    Tip: Keep the patties uniform in size so they cook evenly.
11. 11Place patties in the pan

    

    Evenly place the small round patties into the heated frying pan.

    Tip: Leave a little space between each patty to make flipping easier.
12. 12Cook and flip the patties

    

    Flip the patties over in the pan using a spatula when the bottom turns golden-brown, continuing to cook on low heat.

    Tip: Cook on low heat to ensure the inside is fully cooked without burning the outside.
