How to Make Sweet Potatoes in a Crock Pot
Cris here.
I am in love. In love with this method of making sweet potatoes. Once you try it, I bet you will be in love with this super simple way to make the best sweet potatoes too. They really do taste like the ones from a steakhouse and couldn’t be easier to make! UPDATED now with a video from Mikey.
I normally cook mine in the microwave, but it will be slow cooker from here on out. These Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes came out so much more flavorful and creamier than when I make them in my microwave. That and I usually get the microwave ready sweet potatoes which cost about a buck each, but buying my sweet potatoes from the bulk bin instead, they were about one third of the price! That came in really handy in my $50 Challenge and in trying to make my money stretch farther in my grocery budget.
I got the idea from Gooseberry Patch’s Grilling and Campfires Cooking. There is a great recipe in there for Crockery Baked Potatoes that I just adapted it for my sweet potatoes.
