Just a handful of ingredients and a slow cooker are all you need to make these amazingly delicious Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
I love being able to free my stove up any way I can during the holidays by using my slow cooker. I served this on Thanksgiving day as one of our side dishes and they were a huge hit, so I’m making them again for our annual Christmas Eve dinner. They’re so EASY to prepare! Â
How to Prepare
It couldn’t be more elementary. You’ll need to peel your sweet potatoes and cut into about 1-½ inch chunks. Spray your slow cooker insert with cooking spray before adding the sweet potatoes. Cook on high heat for 2-½ to 3 hours or low heat for 5 to 6 hours. Add the remaining ingredients, whip them up and you’re DONE.
I used a potato masher, but you can also use a hand mixer for a more whipped consistency.
Hooray for easy holiday (or any day!) side dishes. Enjoy! Â
