Ok for ds to eat a shed load of potato?

My ds is 11 months and is very fussy about lumps but is also going off foods he previously liked. Nothing new about that, I hear you say, and I am not worried per se.

However, it is meaning his repertoire of foods is becoming extremely limited. He loves my beef casserole and about 3 other dishes of mine, but that is kind of it (of anything). He used to love all the Ella's/Plum meals but these have been shunned (and the 10 month + meals, forget it...shamefully, I put those in the blender. He still hates them).

Is it OK to feed him my beef casserole (mash, carrots, beef, onion etc) 3 times a week, cheesy veggie mash 3 times a week and fish pie 3 times a week etc etc, basically roating about 6 meals? I keep making him new stuff (veal, tasty rice dishes etc) and buying new Plum/Organix meals etc to broaden it all out a bit but he is liking fewer and fewer things. I am at the stage where he is having mash potato with everything (rice is out of favour, pasta sudenly too lumpy etc) and a very limited range of other stuff. He loves veg so he is eating a wide range there but other than that, I fear the boy is going to start resembling a spud or a piece of stewing beef.

Anyone else worried about narrow repertoire!?

He'll be absolutely fine, sounds delicious!

Plenty of potates have never done the Irish much harm

Some kids only eat jam sandwiches - he is eating veg, he will be fine.
