Mashing and pureeing sweet potato for babies is one of the easiest and simplest way to start serving first baby food to your baby. Begin with sweet potato puree only (stage 1) and then progress to more baby food combinations (stage 2-3) for nutrient and texture variety.
After baking, roasting or steaming, you just take the soft flesh, mash and puree the sweet potato with a hand blender or a baby bullet blender until smooth.
Add water as needed to reach the desired consistency.
For a very smooth (soupy) puree mix the sweet potato puree with liquid at 1:1 proportions.Less liquid - yields a thicker puree.No salt or spices needed.
