Crock Pot Sweet Potatoes are the perfect remedy for that. If you’re a fan of traditional mashed sweet potatoes, you can easily make them in your slow cooker. Plug it in and forget about it. When it’s time to serve them. dish them out into your serving dish and put them on the table. It couldn’t be easier. The beautiful part of this is that it’s off to the side on your counter, taking up no valuable space in your oven.
