Slow-Cooker Sweet Potatoes
These Slow-Cooker Sweet Potatoes Are About to Become Your Fall Favorite
This hands-off recipe from The Magical Slow Cooker is your ticket to seasonal sweet potatoes without the work.
It's that time of year when I need to start thinking about putting together my holiday meals. Slow-cooker sweet potatoes will be the easiest side for my holiday dinner for sure. I just wrap them in foil and put them in the slow cooker! It doesn't get any easier than that! I would usually put butter on any type of foiled potato in the oven, but with the slow cooker, all that steam from the butter can't escape the slow cooker. So I found it is best not to butter potatoes for the slow cooker; just put some extra butter on them when serving. My other favorite side for the holidays in my slow cooker is green bean casserole. Making the green bean casserole in the slow cooker saves on oven space, and you can keep it warm until the rest of dinner is ready.
