Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. Peel the sweet potatoes to remove the skin.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small, evenly-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the sweet potatoes simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain the water using a colander.
- Use a potato masher to manually mash the sweet potatoes to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can place the cooked sweet potatoes in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth
- Allow the sweet potato puree to cool completely before serving it to your dog.
