for dinner. in the summer, i skip sweet potatoes because the kitchen is too hot to have the oven on.
so i decided to experiment by placing sweet potatoes in my crock pot.
i had five large sweet potatoes. after scrubbing the potatoes, i used a knife to slice a hole in each side of each potato. then, i layered the sweet potatoes in my slow cooker and added about 1/4 cup of water.
the sweet potatoes cooked in the crock pot for about 7 hours on low and turned out very tender and almost creamy. divine!
cook’s tip: if you prefer a dry potato, i recommend you skip the water in the crock
