Homemade Puréed Sweet Potato Baby Food Recipe

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and halved (or more as desired)
Water to cover

Directions:

Fill a small saucepan with water and add the sweet potatoes.
Bring the water to a boil and cook the sweet potatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender enough to break apart with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the sweet potatoes to a food processor or immersion blender cup, keeping the cooking water for later use.
Blend the sweet potatoes until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water, blending until you achieve the desired consistency.

Recipe Tip: You can substitute breast milk or formula for the cooking water for a smoother texture suitable for babies.

Editors Note: Please consult your pediatrician before introducing solid foods to your baby.

My daughter loved it, I booked hers in spring water and used the water to blend until really thin... Let it cool an d cut pouches out of foodsaver bags sealed the sides out how much I give her in a serving and made individual serving sizes and vacuum sealed it to make sure I can get the best out of freezing them, to avoid freezer burn and lost/change of flavor!!!

Such a simple recipe, but the results were amazing! Full of flavor, easy to prepare, and everyone loved it. I’ll definitely be making this for family dinners and casual get-togethers.

So it says, water to cover..which is NOT enough!! Especially for that time. My water evaporated, and they started to burn, so mine has a slight burnt taste, I'll see if shell eat it. But i through most of it away. Will definitely add more water next time.
