  Notes: I found that the cake mix layer (crust) was what needed to be clean during my toothpick check, the sweet potato layer remains somewhat creamy and solidifies as it cools.
• Step 8
  If you never made sweet potato puree, simply boil the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, until tender when pricked with a fork.
• Step 9
  Allow them to cool slightly on the counter, then peel and mash the potatoes.
• Step 10
  The mash may need 2-4 tablespoons water to make it thinner and more puree like.

  You can do this in a blender to eliminate any potato pieces. The puree can be kept in the freezer and used whenever you need it.
