Sweet Potato Purée
Simple and versatile, this puree pairs well everything from cooked grains to shredded chicken. It doesn’t hurt that sweet potatoes are rich in essential nutrients like beta carotene (great for eye and skin health). This recipe works great with yams, sweet potatoes, or even purple sweet potatoes for an especially colorful meal.

- salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon breast milk or formula (optional)

Serving suggestions & tips
- Add some butter for more flavor and texture.
- Feed just as a puree on its own, or mix it with some cooked rice or other grains if you’re starting on chunky foods.
- Also great served with chunks of fish, chicken, or turkey.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
