Ingredients:

• 1 small potato, peeled, cut into even-sized chunks

Method:

Saucepan method:
Boil potato with water to cover in a covered saucepan until tender. Drain and reserve cooking water.

Microwave method:
Cook time for 800 watt oven
Microwave in a covered dish with 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Both methods:
Mash with a potato masher, then use a fork to beat to a fluffy purée. Beat in some reserved cooking liquid or boiled water to get a moist consistency. Or mix in some breast milk or infant formula so the mixture is semi-solid, not thick or gluey.
