Crock-Pot Sweet Potatoes With A Hint Of Orange

When the holidays come around I am always looking for ways that I can utilize my slow cooker so that I can free up oven and stove-top space and also just make things a little bit easier on me when I am cooking for a large family.

This easy sweet potato recipe has just 5 ingredients (sweet potatoes, orange zest, butter, salt and pepper (OK water too but I don’t really count water as an ingredient!) and could not be any easier to whip up and throw in your slow cooker.

The orange zest gives the potatoes just a hint of orange flavor and really brightens up the sweet potatoes. I think these zesty orange sweet taters go great with your holiday ham or roasted turkey. But in all honestly I also just make these to serve with chicken or pork chops for every day meals too whenever I spot sweet potatoes on sale at the grocery store.

My family gobbles these up and I am confident that yours will too!

Instructions

1. Wash your sweet potatoes and you can choose either to peel them or not. I don’t mind the skins left on and they add a little extra fiber and vitamins so I usually leave them on.
2. Cut sweet potatoes in quarters lengthwise and then into large chunks.
3. Add sweet potatoes, water and orange zest to a 6 quart slow cooker.
4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
5. Right in the crock-pot use a potato masher and mash sweet potatoes up, add butter, salt and pepper to taste. I usually add ½ stick of butter.
