Baked Sweet Potato Hashbrowns

Baked Sweet Potato Hash Browns: Suitable for 11 month old baby & up

A crispy, golden treat that’s packed with nutrients and comes out irresistibly delicious! This kid-friendly snack idea are made with 3 simple ingredients, are gluten-free and dairy-free. My family likes to make them around Hannukah for a healthier potato latkes option. Usually hashbrowns are deep fried in oil, these are lightly sprayed in oil and baked to golden perfection. The sweet potatoes give a beautiful, sweet flavor that kids enjoy and you can pair it with a fun dip to make mealtime more engaging. On Hannukah it’s traditionally paired with unsweetened applesauce or sour cream, but you can pair it with ketchup, honey mustard or some plain yogurt for younger babies.

Sweet Potatoes for Kids:

Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse, making them a fantastic choice for growing kids. They are rich in:

1. Vitamin A: Essential for good vision, a healthy immune system, and proper growth, sweet potatoes are packed with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.
2. Fiber: Supports healthy digestion and keeps kids feeling full and satisfied.
3. Natural Sweetness: Sweet potatoes have a natural sweetness that appeals to children’s taste buds, making them more likely to enjoy this dish.
4. Complex Carbohydrates: Provide sustained energy, making them a great choice for active kids.
