How to store

Should you peel the sweet potatoes?

Yes, always remove the skin of the sweet potatoes as these can be difficult for your dig to digest.

You can peel the sweet potatoes and cook them in boiling water until tender, or you can roast them and then peel them. Then you just need to mash them up and mix with the other ingredients.

Tips!

I used a bone shaped cookie cutter for these treats, but you can use whatever you have to hand.
