Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and cubing your sweet potatoes into small, even chunks, roughly 1-inch in size.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook them for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a food processor.
  4. To the sweet potatoes in the food processor, add the ground cumin, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt.
  5. Process the mixture on high speed until it becomes ultra-smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  6. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning, adding extra lime juice or salt if desired.
  7. Transfer your creamy dip into a serving bowl. Serve warm or chilled with dippers.
