I’m from the north and have lived here most of my life. We have sweet potatoes all the time! They’re one of our favorites!

Sweet Potatoes are big around here – our county fair is called a Yamboree … from the Yams/Sweet Potatoes.

Hi Kendra,
I love cooking my potatoes and especially sweet potatoes in the crockpot. Just clean them like you would for the oven, and rub butter on them (I usually make little cuts in the potatoes too) and then place in crockpot with a little extra butter. Depending on the size of the potato, I cook on low for 3-4 hours, sometimes this is increased to 8 because of the size and amount of potatoes. They are perfect every time. I have cooked them like this and then made either sweet potato pie or sweet potato casseroles.
