directions

  • Select yams that are about the same size. Wash thoroughly.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut out a nickel-size wedge from the side of each yam. This keeps the yams from exploding during cooking.
  • Coat yams with olive oil. Wrap each one securely in foil. Repeat foil process 3 times, rotating yam each time. Continue foiling each yam until all are finished.
  • Place yams in slow cooker. Add 1/4 cup water to bottom.
  • Turn cooker to low. The yams will be ready to go in about 4-5 hours, but you can keep them on low all day if you need too.
  • When ready to serve, upwrap yams, add butter and brown sugar and enjoy!
  • Note: by wrapping the yams a minimum of 3 times with foil you lock in the moisture and keep the slow cooker clean too - making clean up a breeze.
