Now That's a Sweet Potato!

Over the past few weeks I came across a lot of subliminal messages telling me to get my sweet potato on.  One of my friends posted a photo on Facebook of a sweet potato stuffed to the nines with YUMS.  Drool.

Roasted and seasoned fries sounds pretty nice.

Braised with apple chicken sausage and kale could be pretty good.

Mashed with garlic and butter, oh yeah.  

But I can't get over this idea I came across on Pinterest to bake whole, washed sweet potatoes in the slow cooker - all by themselves.

Apparently, they release their own juices while cooking on low for several hours, revealing the simplest, most perfect sweet potato ever baked.

I kept an eye on them and, after only three and a half hours on low, the house was perfumed to the hilt by their earthy sweetness. They were DONE!
