Servings: 6
Cost: $3.62, $0.60 per Servings
Ingredients
- 6 Medium Size Sweet Potatoes 8oz each
Toppings:
- 3 Tbsp Butter (1/2 Tbsp per potato)
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Wash 6 medium sweet potatoes. There is no need to dry them. Use a fork to pierce each sweet potato 6–8 times in different spots.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the crock pot in a single layer. Do not add any water - the moisture from washing them is all you need.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3.5 hours until a knife can easily be inserted and removed and the sweet potatoes are soft when squeezed gently.
- Slice each sweet potato open and top with the butter, salt and pepper.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- No water needed. Wash the sweet potatoes and put them in wet. Don't add water to the crock pot.
- No foil needed. They cook the same unwrapped.
- Size matters more than the clock. Medium (8 oz) potatoes take 6-7 hours on low. Large ones can take 8+. Start checking at 6 hours.
- Holding for dinner. Once tender, switch to warm to hold them until you're ready to serve.
- Delicious topped with butter, brown sugar and marshmallows. The toppings listed are not included in the nutritional information.
