Mashed Sweet Potatoes in the Slow Cooker
Author: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (I slice the potato first and then cut each round into quarters)
  • ⅓ cup milk of choice (I use original soy)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • more milk for beating
Instructions
  1. Place sweet potato chunks and ⅓ cup of milk in the slow cooker. Cover and turn to high for ~1½ hours or until tender (you might want to check at the hour mark since all slow cookers are different. Just poke with a fork and see if they are tender).
  2. When tender, turn to warm until ready to beat. Add a pinch of salt, a hefty pinch of brown sugar (~1 teaspoon), cinnamon and coconut oil (or butter), plus ~2 more tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth (add an additional splash of milk as needed). Transfer to serving dish or if serving casual, just leave them in the slow cooker.
