Potatoes stewed with meat (like in kindergarten). "food like in kindergarten" children's cooking
Do you remember how deliciously they fed us in kindergarten? Shall we try to reproduce it?
Ingredients:
— Beef - 400-600 g
— Peeled potatoes - 1 kg
— Onion - 1 pc.
— Carrots - 1 pc.
— Flour - 1 tsp.
— Tomato - 1 pc.
Preparation:
1. Cut the onion and carrots into cubes. Lightly sauté in vegetable oil immediately in a saucepan. (for small children, do not saute, but add after frying and stewing the meat)
2. I recommend taking beef: neck or shoulder.
3. Cut the meat into small pieces.
4. Place in a saucepan with onions and carrots.
5. Fry over high heat, stirring, without frying. The meat will give juice.
Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes in its own juice.
until the juice has evaporated, checking and stirring occasionally. For children, immediately pour a small amount of boiling water over the meat.
6. Then add enough water so that the meat is slightly covered and simmer under the lid over low heat until the meat is soft (it took me about 40 minutes)
7. Pour boiling water over the tomato or keep it in the microwave for a couple of minutes so that the skin comes off well. Peel the skin, mash it, and place it in the meat.
Add salt to taste (I don’t have a full teaspoon somewhere)
8. Simmer a little more (about 5 minutes) and then lay out all the chopped potatoes and add enough water so that the potatoes protrude slightly from it. If you pour more, the potatoes will be runny... Put in a bay leaf. Cover with a lid and simmer until the potatoes are done.
9. Stir potatoes. Strain a little broth from the surface into a cup. Let cool and add 1 tsp flour. Stir the flour well with a fork so that there are no lumps and pour the contents back into the potatoes.
This is necessary so that our potatoes become viscous. Of course, you can do without flour, but this way the potatoes in the plate look more holistic and less liquid. You don’t have to strain the broth, but dilute the flour in a small amount of warm water if there isn’t a lot of liquid in the potatoes...
10. Stir and let it boil. The potatoes are ready.
Serve with pickled cucumber.
After a year, the baby increasingly eats from the common table. His energy expenditure is high: he moves a lot, explores the world around him with pleasure, and makes some discoveries every day. Closer to three years, food should be not only healthy, but also satisfying.
This is a period of intense intellectual and physical growth. The mother’s task is made easier by the fact that the baby already eats almost all “adult” foods. An excellent option for a hearty dinner that not only the child, but also the rest of the family will enjoy is potatoes stewed with meat.
The benefits of stewed potatoes with meat for a child
- Stewing is very beneficial for the child’s body, and is also the basis of dietary nutrition. Braising involves cooking a dish in a small amount of liquid.
- Slowly heating the dish will allow the ingredients to cook well, they will become soft and very tender, and will absorb each other’s taste and aroma well. This is especially true for meat, which we will stew along with potatoes.
- Meat is a source of protein, it gives a feeling of fullness, is very useful for the functioning of the nervous and circulatory system, and increases muscle mass.
Stewed potatoes are rich in vitamins A, E, C and group B, it contains a lot of carbohydrates, which also makes the dish satisfying. The minerals contained in potatoes regulate metabolic processes, improve hematopoiesis, and have a beneficial effect on the child’s skeletal system.
- This dish has a consistency similar to adult dishes. All products and the method of preparing them will be useful for a child over 3 years old.
- You can choose cooking options.
- If your baby digests fried food well, then the meat can be lightly fried before stewing.
- If the child’s delicate digestive tract only tolerates dishes with a minimum amount of fat, then we will immediately stew the meat.
- Additionally, we will add onions and carrots to the dish for aroma and taste.
- Decide on the type of meat.
Even stewed potatoes with chicken can have different fat content depending on what part of the chicken you choose. If you give preference to breast meat, the dish will turn out to be lean and dietary; such meat will be easily digestible. If you choose chicken legs, you will enrich the child’s body with vitamin B, but your dish will turn out to be more fatty compared to potatoes stewed with breast.
- In any case, remove the skin from the chicken; it contains a lot of fat that a delicate child’s body does not need.
- If you opt for pork, then choose lean parts of pork (tenderloin or loin). Stewed potatoes with pork may be too fatty a dish.
- Stewed potatoes with beef are the most common on children's menus. Beef is well digestible and rich in iron; it is one of the first to be introduced into the diet, so most often it is chosen for preparing this dish. When choosing beef, give preference to tenderloin. If your baby is okay with fattier dishes, then you can take a spatula or neck.
- Stewed potatoes with meat can be cooked in a slow cooker, cauldron, or even in a regular saucepan; the dish does not require any special equipment.
- In addition to carrots and onions, vegetables such as sweet bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, roots and herbs are also added to stewed potatoes with meat.

How to cook stewed potatoes with meat for a child - video
This is truly a very easy dish to prepare. Make sure of this by watching the video. You should only add spices that your baby has already tried. And for the little ones, you can limit yourself to just salt, because adults can add pepper or other spices to a ready-made dish!
Prepare vegetable stew with meat or potato casserole with minced meat, cabbage rolls or potato zrazy for your child. The child's diet should include nutritious and healthy dishes.
Stewed potatoes with meat is a well-known dish that each of us has known since childhood. If your child is already 3 years old, then it’s time for him to get acquainted with this hearty and simple dish. Such potatoes with meat can be an everyday dish, or it can decorate a Sunday family lunch.
The post Stewed potatoes with meat for children (from 3 years old) first appeared Pregnancy calendar by week.
I have one belief that is difficult to convince me of, the most delicious thing is what we were fed in childhood. Who disagrees with me? Remember the taste of your mother’s borscht or cutlets. And no matter what we eat as adults, we still compare it with our mother’s (or grandmother’s). And even though it is much different from what we eat now, I think that no one will refuse my mother’s cooking. Well, do you agree?

Bon appetit to you and your children!
Let's start with the ingredients. For 2-3 servings of stewed potatoes for a toddler (you can have one for yourself and one for your child) you will need following products:
- a small piece of minced meat (veal, pork or chicken) 100-150 grams;
- a third of a carrot (medium);
- half a small onion;
- potatoes - 2-4 pieces (depending on their size);
— sunflower oil;
- water 50-80 ml;
- salt (if you add).
How to cook stewed potatoes for a baby in a Redmond multicooker
Mash the minced meat well with a fork and place in the multicooker bowl. Finely chop the onion, grate the carrots, add the vegetables to the bowl with the minced meat, add a little sunflower oil and salt and mix well.
Peel the potatoes, cut into large pieces and place on top. Fill with water.
Select the “Stewing” mode and the cooking time is 1 hour (in the Redmond RMC-M70 I select the “Stewing meat” mode). If you have a pressure cooker, then the cooking time can be halved; 30 minutes is enough. Press start.
After the end of cooking (beep signal), mix the contents of the bowl well. If the child is only 1 year old, then most likely the dish will need to be crushed with a masher. If the toddler is older (for example, a year and a half), then you can give him pieces to eat (do not crush him at all).
