Toddler Meal

• Wash, peel and cut potatoes into chunks.
• Place potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until tender.
• Drain well, mash thoroughly, and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a large bowl, add mayonnaise, lemon, egg, chives and cilantro to the potatoes and gently mix until combined.
• Fold in flaked salmon.
• Cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.
• Using a floured surface, roll salmon mixture into balls (of an appropriate size for the age of the child).
• Dip salmon balls in bowl of beaten egg and then coat in breadcrumbs.
• In a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp of oil.
• Cook balls 3 or 4 minutes per side or until golden brown, then repeat with remaining balls.
• Alternatively, salmon balls can be baked at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix together dill sauce ingredients.
• Serve salmon balls with dill sauce or cocktail sauce.

Good to know: salmon balls make the perfect backyard party appetizer. Serve them on individual mini dishes with dip or on a large platter with toothpicks. If you wish to freeze the extras, do not cook them first. To avoid sticking, place balls on a baking tray and freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer container.

• Place potatoes in a small pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until just tender (do not overcook).
• Drain potatoes and place in a bowl.
• Combine dressing ingredients.
• Pour dressing over warm potatoes.
• Add green peas, tossing gently. 
• The potatoes will absorb the flavours of the dressing if they are warm.
• Serve potato salad warm or at room temperature.

• Using a small blender or mixer, puree half of the berries.
• Scoop the ice-cream into small bowls or mini-parfait glasses, sprinkle an equal amount of berries on top, and then drizzle with the pureed berries.
• Add a sprig of mint and serve.

Good to know: if fresh berries aren’t available, frozen berries will work just as well.
