⚠️ Serving it safely

Serve warm, not hot, and test the texture: it should squash easily between your finger and thumb. Cut and serve to suit your child's age and eating skills, and always supervise eating.

Tips

  • Thinner = crispier
  • Soft enough to chew with few teeth

Easy swaps

  • Use paprika instead of cinnamon
  • Try with regular potatoes
