Potato and Butternut Squash Tots

Do you have a picky eater like my son? My one year old doesn't want to eat anything with a spoon. Even if I give him finger food and he doesn't like the texture, he wont even try the taste. It just ends up on the floor.

But I made this Potato and Butternut Squash the other day and he loved it!!! I didn't have a chance to take picture but here is the recipe. I will make sure to have picture for my next batch... 😊

Ingredients:

• 2 cups potato, peeled
• 2 cups butternut squash, peeled
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 1.5 tbsp flour
• 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
• 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs

Direction:

1. Chop the butternut squash and potato into small bite size. In a large saucepan boil water and cook the potato and butternut squash for approx 10 minutes until soft.
2. Drain the potato and butternut squash completely and return to the saucepan. Mash with hand masher and then add cheese, flour, garlic and herbs and mix well. (you can also season with salt and pepper)
3. Let the potato and butternut squash to cool. 
4. Spray a baking sheet with Cooking Spray. Sprinkle half the dried breadcrumbs and layer the potato and butternut squash a very thin layer to make it crispy.
5. Pre-heat own to 350. Bake for 30 minutes. Then lower heat to 200 degree and bake additional to make crispy. 

**I make them thin and crispy because thats the only way my son eats anything but you can shape them thicker and don't have to bake as much.

**You can also shape them like Potato Tots and fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes
