I love being able to free my stove up any way I can during the holidays by using my slow cooker. I served these mashed sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving day and they were a huge hit, so I’m making them again for our annual Christmas Eve dinner. They’re so EASY to prepare! 
How do I make Slow Cooker Mashed Sweet Potatoes?
It couldn’t be more elementary. You’ll need to peel your sweet potatoes and cut into about 1-1/2 inch chunks. Spray your slow cooker insert with cooking spray before adding the sweet potatoes. Cook on high heat for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or low heat for 5-6 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!
