Creamy sweet potato puree

This creamy sweet potato puree is one of those basic recipes which will help us to prepare many other sweet and savory recipes.

This classic preparation is as useful as that of the pumpkin puree that Americans use so much. Since Ascen taught us I have done it many times because I find it very comfortable.

That is why I decided to make this version with sweet potato because, like pumpkin puree, it is one of those versatile preparations They serve us both to make purees for children, to enrich our creams or to prepare cakes and other desserts.

The same in your house, the sweet potato is known by another name such as moniato, sweet potato or sweet potato. Any of these options is correct, so use the one you like best.

El sweet potato is drier that is why I had to add a little water to this recipe so that the pieces cooked well.

This recipe is intended for a medium-sized sweet potato. Once peeled, they can be between 300 and 350 grams. If your sweet potato is approximately that weight, you will not even have to adjust the amounts of water.

As I said before, this creamy sweet potato puree will be the base for other preparations due to its texture and, above all, because it does not remain watery. In addition, as it does not contain salt or sugar, you can use it both for savory recipes and for making sweet recipes like cupcakes.
