• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.
• Place cubed sweet potatoes in the slow cooker. Add butter and water.
• Cook until sweet potatoes are soft when pricked with a fork, 4 hours on Low or 2 hours on High. Turn slow cooker off. Add maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, maple extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to the slow cooker and blend with an immersion blender. Garnish with mini marshmallows.

SLOW-COOKER SPICED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Stir together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir together the melted butter and vanilla extract in another small bowl.
• Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Put 1 layer of the sweet potatoes on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Drizzle with a third of the butter mixture then sprinkle with a third of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat to make 2 more layers. (If there are not enough sweet potatoes to make a complete third layer, that is okay.)
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and finely chop.
• When the sweet potatoes are tender, gently stir in the orange juice. Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving dish and allow to sit for 10 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Toss the potatoes in the sauce to coat, sprinkle with the chopped pecans and serve.

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
• Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In crock pot, add 2 cups of water and potatoes.
• Cook on high for 1-2 hours or until potatoes are very soft to touch.
• Water should be almost evaporated and potatoes will mash when gently touched. If you have a lot of water leftover, drain it off. If you have under 1/2 cup, go ahead and leave it. This will help keep your potatoes from over drying while waiting for dinner to be done- so you can make them ahead of time.
• Add cream, butter, garlic and mash well using hand mixer or mashing utensil, right there in the crock pot.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Keep potatoes on medium or low for up to 2 hours, or until ready to serve.

• Cover and cook on Low until sweet potatoes are very tender, 4 to 5 hours. Stir every hour. Cooking time will vary with the size of the chunks and the age of the sweet potatoes.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine candied ginger, salt, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set spice mixture aside.
• Heat pecans in a nonstick pan until lightly toasted, stirring or shaking the pan constantly, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter and stir until melted. Mix in spice mixture and stir until pecans are coated. Sprinkle with brown sugar and water and mix to coat all the pecans. Cook until liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread out pecans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and allow to cool.
• Use a hand mixer or potato masher to mash the sweet potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cream, and salt. Lightly chop the cooled pecans and sprinkle on top. Garnish with fresh mint.

V'S DO-AHEAD SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, water, and butter into a slow cooker.
• Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Cover, and cook High for 4 hours.
• Do not remove the excess water from slow cooker. This adds to the creamy texture.
• Mash potatoes with a masher or electric beater, adding the desired amount of warm milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
• Keep warm on low until serving.
• My slow cooker has a warm setting which it automatically goes to once cooking time has been reached. Potatoes keep consistency for a couple of hours after mashing. Just keep the lid on the slow cooker and serve directly from there.
