Tuna and Potato Cakes

These tuna and potato cakes are perfect for baby-led weaning but the whole family can enjoy them too. Cooked potato and tuna are mixed together with spring onion, lime juice and coriander (cilantro). They are then coated in fine breadcrumbs and lightly fried or baked.

Adding herbs and spices to baby food is great for introducing your baby to a range of different flavours. However, if you have a fussy eater, you can easily adapt this recipe. Try leaving out the herbs and onion altogether or switch up the flavours. For example, substituting the lime juice and coriander with lemon juice and parsley works well.

I use tinned tuna in spring water but if you prefer you could substitute the tuna for another cooked fish such as salmon.
