Cheesy Potato Bites for Babies, Toddlers & Kids
Cheese is my recent obsession, given that the whole family likes it. Kids love it too much and make it a must ingredient in most of their dishes. I recently tried this snack one morning when I was thinking of what to make for Disha’s snack box. I was preparing Aloo Paratha that day for breakfast and this idea just popped out. I quickly made potato balls by filling them with cheese and froze them, deep-fried after 20 minutes, and tada her snack box was ready with some curd as a dip. Disha loved these Cheesy Potato Bites and now it’s on our weekly snack box menu.
I’ve used sooji or rava with potato mixture to make it a little crispy and I’ve opted to coat it with the same rava instead of bread crumbs, my healthy way. You can customize this by adding some chopped greens, with or without cheese, giving it an Italian twist by adding Italian seasoning and chili flakes, the list is never-ending. This can be given to babies above 8 months without salt and less spice. Let me take you through the recipe now.
