- 1
Prepare the purple sweet potatoes by peeling and cutting them into cubes. I suggest cutting them into small pieces to make it faster and easier to steam.

Mash the sweet potatoes until you get a soft paste.

In a blender, blend the mashed sweet potatoes with water or your choice of milk. The puree should become more moist but not runny.

Sauté the puree in a non-stick pan for 3 minutes.
