Sweet Potato Puree
Author: 
Recipe type: Baby Food
 
Appropriate for babies 6 months and older.
Ingredients
  • 2 small sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
  1. Wash the sweet potatoes and prick with a fork all over.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a sheet of aluminum on a baking pan, and bake at 400 degrees F for 45 - 60 minutes.
  3. Let the sweet potato cool, then cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.  Using a large spoon, scoop out the flesh of the sweet potato and transfer to a glass bowl or other BPA-free mixing bowl.
  4. COOKING TIP: Instead of baking it, you could peel the sweet potato, rough chop and boil, but the flesh of the sweet potato quickly changes color right after you peel it.  The cooking time for the boiling method is shorter than the baking method, but I prefer baking.
  5. Add ½ tablespoon water, and using a hand blender, purée the sweet potatoes to a creamy texture.  If your baby can handle thicker, chunkier foods, add less water and pulse blend until desired thickness.
  6. Transfer 1 - 2 tablespoons to each Baby Cube (BPA-free baby food storage containers).  Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
