Food for little man

Most days, I try to provide homecooked food for my little man and that is usually a fresh fruit or vegetable just for him. :D In this case I want to share my mashed sweet potato "recipe" with you. I do believe it is more a short set of instructions than a recipe, since making baby sweet potatoes is super easy and anyone can pick up on it in no time.

Baby sweet taters (J. loves them)

  • 1-3 good sized sweet potatoes
  • water
First you peel and wash the sweet potatoes, then you cut them into chunks (it makes them cook faster). After the sweet potatoes are all cleaned and prepped you put them in a pot of water and boil them until they are soft.


Once boiled, I strain them rinse them and mash them with an immersion blender and add water until I have the consistency I want.

While I wait on the potatoes to cool I usually hang out with little man who is sitting in his highchair playing waiting for his food.

After he has been fed (anywhere from one to three helpings, very hungry caterpillarlike) I am able to pack the potatoes up and store them in the fridge. They will usually last us about 3-4 days depending on this appetite.


I hope you all enjoyed this recipe and will come back soon. There will be more recipes to follow.
