Tuna Cakes With Sweet Potato – A Tasty Baby Finger Food

There’s just one word to sum up this recipe dee..licious!

Quick and easy to make – but full of flavour and vitamins for baby – these wonderful fish cakes are great for babies who are feeding themselves. They are fairly easy to pick up (make sure they’ve cooled sufficiently first!) and have a nice soft texture!

This recipe yields quite a few portions (we usually get around 14 cakes), so we recommend making the mixture up – dividing it into portions – then freezing them BEFORE cooking if you’d like to save some for another day.

For Baby’s Tuna Cakes with Sweet Potato You Will Need…

8 oz (1 cup) canned light tuna (drained)
1 medium sweet potato, diced
1 small white potato, diced
4 spring onions (green onions or scallions), chopped
1 tsp dried tarragon
1 tbsp unsalted butter
whole wheat bread crumbs

Steam the potato dice until tender.
Mash roughly, incorporating the tuna, onions, tarragon and butter. If the mixture is particularly ‘stodgy’, add a little milk.
Form into bite-size fish cakes and coat with the bread crumbs.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook until golden and firm.

These are yummy served with a pretend ‘mayonnaise’ of avocado mashed with a little milk!
