Easy Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes

We love sweet potatoes! Ever since my teens were babies I've been making them sweet potato fries. I have several sweet potato recipes that I enjoy making and below you will find a new one. Do you have any favorite sweet potato recipes? IF so please share in the below comments. I'm always looking for new and tasty sweet potato recipes to make my family. These are great because they are made in the crockpot!

Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

4-6 Medium sweet potatoes sliced (They can be sliced and cooked with the skins on to keep the nutritional content found in the skins and to help hold the potato together during cooking or you may peel them too.)

1/4 Cup sugar (Some may like it sweeter and more sugar may be added; however, please try it first with minimal sugar –still so good and healthier!)

1 Teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon salt

1-2 Tablespoons butter

Directions:

- Grease slow cooker/crock pot (butter or spray)

- Add sliced sweet potatoes (approx. 3/8 inch) (wash and scrub very well before slicing)

- Sprinkle with salt

- Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over sweet potatoes

- Dot with butter

- Cook on low for 3-4  hours; (cooking times will vary)

Serves: Four

Guest recipe provided by Lid Pocket. I actually need one of these for all of my crockpots. Last fall while at a cookout, someone dropped my crockpot lid and it shattered everywhere. It was from my best crockpot, too! So sad. Anyhow I'm thrilled to know of this product and plan on stocking up!

About the Lid Pocket

The Lid Pocket attaches easily right to the side of most slow cookers and holds the lid in place so your hands are free to stir, season or plate the food.  The Lid Pocket is also designed with a reservoir that catches the condensation so it won't drip in your food or on the counter top. 

The Lid Pocket is designed for use with nearly all slow cookers.  It fits the three-quart slow cookers all the way up to the large round and oval slow cookers.  The Lid Pocket is BPA-free, dishwasher safe and stores conveniently inside the slow cooker.

The Lid Pocket makes a great hostess gift, bridal shower/wedding gift, or a gift for teachers or for anyone who owns a slow cooker.  It can be included in a gift basket with soup kits; cider seasonings and a ladle; or a gadget-themed basket.  The possibilities are endless.
