Baked Sweet Potatoes from a Crock Pot

"I have two Rival Slow Cookers and use them frequently. I like the idea of having my potatoes ready at the same time I have the meat ready in my slow cooker."

  1. These are terrific! The only thing I did differently was to wrap each in foil to avoid a mess. I cooked 2 large sweet potatoes and 2 large white potatoes this way and it took 4 hours on low for them to be perfectly "baked". Thanks!!!
     
  2. I love making sweet potatoes this way. Like the other reviewer, I wrap them in foil. Two big potatoes cook in about 4 hours on high.
     
  3. I'm not going to rate this with stars because I think I messed up. I only cooked 2 sweet potatoes but I had trouble getting them done. I guess they were bigger than I realized so I had to finish them in the oven. I'll definitely make this again and rate it with stars because I love the no mess cooking for sweet potatoes. 6-2-11: I made these again and cooked them longer and of course, this is a 5 star!! Loved the easy clean up and not turning the oven on. The ONLY way I'll make baked sweet potatoes from now on. Thanks!!
     
  4. An excellent way to cook sweet potatoes. I put a sheet of parchment paper at the bottom of my slow cooker, to catch any juices that exude. They were perfect.
     
  5. Wow! What an easy, no-fail way to make sweet potatoes! My whole family loved it. I've done this several times now since finding this recipe and I will always do my sweet potatoes this way from now on. No wasting foil... and the crockpot barely even gets dirty... what a bonus! Thanks!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of three and live in central Pennsylvania. My children were very active in after school activities and found we weren't spending anytime together at meal time. In 1998, I decided to start cooking my dinners in a crockpot so that we could have a home cooked meal together once everyone came home. My children now get so excited to see what we are having to eat and love the smell when they walk in the door. My family calls me the crock pot queen. LOL I use my crock pot everyday of the year. <br> <br>My three children are now in college and before they come home they request their favorite meal. I still continue to cook in the crock pot for my husband and I. It is nice after a long day to know your meal is ready. It also helps in keeping my grocery bill down. With zaar, I can print my shopping list and that is all I purchase is the ingredients on that list. <br> <br>Now, my two daughters have been crock pot cooking while in college. They find it is easy to cook for the themselves and their friends. It is an easy way to have friends over for dinner after classes <br> <br>I still love trying new recipes and purchasing cookbooks, especially crock pot cookbooks. <br> <br>Happy Cooking!
