Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet Potatoes peeled and cut into similar sized chunks
- ¼ cup Butter
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ cup Pecans chopped and toasted
- 1 cup Milk more or less
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut them into larger chunks that are all about the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Place in the Crockpot. Add butter, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the sweet potatoes. Set milk and pecans aside to add later.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Using a hand mixer or potato masher, smash and whip them until no lumps remain.
- Add milk a little at a time until the sweet potatoes are your desired consistency.
- Toast chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and you can smell the nuttiness. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Top whipped sweet potatoes with pecans. Replace the lid and keep on warm for serving.
