Slow Cooker Baked Sweet Potatoes
Description
This recipe prepares sweet potatoes by thoroughly washing and scrubbing, then piercing them with a fork to allow steam to escape. Each potato is dipped in water and wrapped tightly in foil, which keeps them moist and prevents foil from sticking during the extended slow cooking process.
Placing the wrapped potatoes in the slow cooker on either low or high heat for several hours results in tender, fully cooked sweet potatoes with a texture that is soft but not mushy. The slow cooking gently breaks down the sweet potato starches, enhancing natural sweetness without drying out.
These slow cooker baked sweet potatoes can be served as a side or as a base for other toppings. The method frees oven space and requires little hands-on time, making it convenient for meal preparation.
Ingredients
- 5 medium sweet potato
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the sweet potato well and using a fork, poke holes all over each potato.
- Dip each potato in the water and wrap with foil (dipping in water before wrapping will help prevent sticking to the foil.)
- Put them in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
