For people who like to use the slow cooker to help with Thanksgiving dinner prep, here’s a great collection of Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Recipes! Using the slow cooker to “bake” sweet potatoes may be a new idea to some people, but we think they’re perfect for a no-fuss side dish! And Thanksgiving is coming up, so it’s definitely time to settle on the menu!

Sweet potatoes are a favorite fall ingredient that can be savory or sweet, which is part of the reason we absolutely love the idea of making sweet potatoes in the slow cooker for a holiday meal. And sweet potatoes are one of those must-have Thanksgiving foods that take up oven space when there isn’t any to spare, and making slow cooker sweet potatoes frees up the oven or stovetop for other things on Thanksgiving!

Check after the photos to see all the sweet potato options featured in this post, and definitely check out The BEST Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes Recipes if you prefer that method!

    Other than in a stew, I've never cooked sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. I'm definitely going to try the "baked" whole potatoes first.
