This slow cooker mashed sweet potato recipe is sweet & spicy! Serve this unique spin on mashed sweet potatoes at your next holiday gathering.
I heard you like sweet potato recipes so Chris & Angie this one is for you:-) This is the perfect paleo, vegetarian (side dish to your next holiday gathering or family dinner. I serve this pretty much year-round in my household. You don’t have to use sweet potatoes. You can use white potatoes, pumpkin, or even butternut squash.
before
As with most slow cooker recipes, this is super easy to make. If you like more heat, I don’t recommend adding another chile but rather more adobo sauce. Be careful though, it can get really spicy very fast. If you end up add too much sauce, just add a little more honey to balance it out. Or add more honey if you like it sweet. To make this vegan, omit the ghee and use maple syrup.
after
The sweet potatoes will be so tender when they’re done cooking that you can literally mash them with a fork. I used a fork at first but I wanted it a little smoother so I ran everything through a food processor to get the right consistency. You don’t need to do that though. If you like your mashed sweet potatoes a little lumpy then you only need a fork.
