Ingredients
  • 3-4 organic sweet potatoes
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Clean and scrub sweet potatoes to remove any dirt and grit. Dry thoroughly. Pierce each potato 4-5 times with a fork.
  3. Wrap each sweet potato individually in aluminum foil and place in the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes or until very soft.
  4. Remove from the oven, carefully open the aluminum packets (watch for the steam) and let cool to the touch.
  5. Scrap pulp from the potatoes and place in a medium bowl.
  6. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes completely.
  7. Use either an immersion blender, high-speed regular blender or food processor to further puree the potatoes making sure that there are no little pieces visible (choking hazard for babies) .
  8. Once fully pureed, spoon into an empty ice cube tray or silicon mini-muffin pans and freeze until solid.
  9. Portion into vacuum sealer bags and vacuum seal for the longest shelf life or place in freezer bags and keep in the freezer until needed.
  10. Each cube is approximately one ounce. Pull out cubes as need and defrost when ready to use. Formula or breast milk can be used to thin out as needed.
