Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker
  • 1 aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 3-6 large sweet potatoes similar size, washed
  • 1 tbsp sea salt optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional

Instructions

  • Wash debris off potatoes. Pat dry. Get out a piece of foil for each potato that is large enough to wrap around each one entirely.
  • Lay each one in the middle. Lightly drizzle a bit of olive oil on each potato with a sprinkle of salt.
  • Roll each one up in the piece of foil with the ends folded over so it is secured. Lay inside slow cooker overlapping the least amount possible.
  • Close lid and set to low setting for 4-5 hours. Timing will depend on their size, test tenderness by sticking a knife into the center. When it slides in easily they are done.
  • If you want the skins crispy, preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray the skin all over with olive oil and set inside basket without overlapping for 4-6 minutes turning over once. Remove once skins are as crispy as you'd like them to be.
