Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 carrot, finely grated
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon raisins (optional)
- Grated nutmeg (optional)
Preparation:
For 8-12 month-olds or omit raisins for younger children:
In microwave oven, cook sweet potato at 100 percent for 5 minutes, or longer if it is very big. Prick the skin before cooking. Carefully remove the meat of the potato, and place in a bowl.
Mix in the carrot and yogurt, then the egg; blend until smooth. Add the raisins and nutmeg sprinkle, if you are using them. If the mixture appears dry, add another tablespoon yogurt.
Cook at 100 percent, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir, cook 1-1/2 minutes more. Let rest 2 to 3 minutes. This tastes best if served as soon as it cools. Serve with a dollop of cold yogurt.
