Good morning! How did your little ones react to their first puree?

Good morning! How did your little ones react to their first puree? The doctor said we should introduce mashed potatoes. They fussed and cried, but our baby always spits it out. I thought they didn't like the mashed potatoes, but they spit out all kinds of mashed potatoes. They don't eat more than two tablespoons. We decided to wait until 6 months. And try with purees. Turns out the baby isn't ready for solids? Or do they all spit up? Or is it just about the taste of the mashed potatoes?
