Cook Time4 hours hrs
Total Time4 hours hrs 5 minutes mins
Servings: 4
Author: The Frugal Girls

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!)
