Crockpot Sweet Potatoes Recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet Potatoes
- Butter or Cinnamon Honey Butter for topping (OPTIONAL)
Instructions
- Scrub, Wash, and thoroughly Dry Sweet Potatoes.
- Poke potatoes with a fork several times.
- Wrap ‘em up in Aluminum Foil, then wrap again in foil. (That’s right ~ these deserve a double wrap!)
- Place in Crockpot and cover with Crockpot Lid.
- Rotate and Turn occasionally
- Cook on HIGH for 4 hours (or LOW for approx. 8 hours)… larger potatoes will take longer to cook… just make sure not to overcook.
- Once they’re done, enjoy them as you love to eat them. For me that includes some butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows! (You can even pop them in the over for a few minutes to let those delicious marshmallows start bubbling up… YUM!)
Notes
- Optional Toppings for later: Butter, Brown Sugar, and Mini Marshmallows!
