So when making sweet potatoes for baby, (as in puree)

LIAngel · August 2011

You just cook the potato and mash it up? Or do I put it in the blender and hit puree? Do I have to add anything to it- like water? yeah I'm clueless and because I'm so clueless I took the easy/lazy way out with Nicholas and just gave him jarred purees. I'm really trying to be good this time and make the food.

yep. stab it with a fork- bake it @ 400 for like 45-60 min.

let it cool for like 5 min- peel back the skin, scoop out the yummy pop it in the blender & call it a day.

no need to add anything!

I baked mine, skinned it and then pureed in the bullet with a little water.

I would bake them, skin it, and pop it in the food processor. I would add a little water if it seemed to thick.

I usually steamed ours in the microwave (peel it, cube it, throw it in a big bowl with some water, cover with plastic wrap, cook for like 10 minutes), then threw it in the blender and hit puree.

Sometimes it would get stuck in the blender, so I would add some water to thin it out and make it easier to blend. So I just kinda added water until the blender got going.

She's so young that we add water to ours.

I cut the sweet potato up in chunks, steamed mine with a stove top steamer and used the water from the steamer (because it holds the vitamins, minerals, etc from the sweet potato), add to blender or food processor and you're done.
