Ingredients:
1lb Sweet Potatoes
Water
Peel and cube sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch chunks. Place sweet potatoes in a steamer in a medium saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough water to steam cook. I used a basket steamer and filled the pan with water until it reached the bottom of the steamer. Cook on low for 25 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
Place cooked sweet potatoes in a bowl reserving the cooking liquid. Using an immersion blender (or you could use a regular blender) puree sweet potatoes with 1 cup of the cooking liquid to start off with. Add additional water until desired consistency is met. Puree should be smooth and creamy.
Yields: 2 cups or 1 1/2 ice cube trays
Sweet potatoes are considered low in pesticides and are listed on the "Clean 15" according to the EWG. So no need to buy organic here, but if they happen to be on sale, why not...try organic. I've tried both and my daughter loves them both the same.
