Sweet potato turned to mush, taste is there, though however will keep an eye on the sweet potato in the last stages of cooking
Family love it
Made this for my 8 month old but everyone ended up eating it.
Very tasty but mine went runny, i think i would cook it on reverse next time. Very easy to make though. One of my first creations wit TM.
