Tips for Kids
Baked potatoes can be a great side to the main
meal or an easy lighter meal, served with a variety of fillings. Why not
include vegetables in the fillings or as a side to help your little
one’s five a day? If your little one isn’t a fan of the skins, why not scoop
out the potato once cooked and mix it with the filling? You could try to
encourage them to eat a little bit of potato skin, but don’t let it put them
off the whole meal!
