Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and halved, or more as desired

  • water to cover

Directions

  1. Fill a small saucepan with water; add sweet potatoes. Bring water to a boil and cook sweet potatoes until tender enough to break apart with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.

  2. Transfer sweet potatoes to a food processor or an immersion blender cup, reserving the cooking water. Blend sweet potatoes until smooth. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup cooking water and blend until desired consistency is reached.

Recipe Tip

You can use breast milk or formula instead of cooking water.
