Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes (or 6 medium)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash sweet potatoes and pat dry. Allow to dry completely before roasting for best results.
Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork on all sides.
Wrap each individual sweet potato in foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast 45-60 minutes (depending on size), until tender.
Open foil and allow to cool ~15 minutes before peeling.
When cool to the touch but still warm, peel away skin and add sweet potato flesh to a food processor (or a high-powered blender). Blend for 2 minutes, until smooth.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Yields ~6 cups sweet potato puree.(1 large potato = ~1½ cups puree; 1 medium potato = ~1 cup puree.)
