Our Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Mash recipe will become your favorite way to cook yams!

It’s basically an easier and healthier spin on our Sweet Potato Casserole (which is delicious!).

This is a fantastic side dish for Thanksgiving or it could be just a delicious recipe to enjoy any time of year.

How to make this Sweet Potato Recipe:

Place cut-up sweet potatoes in a slow cooker.

Pour 1/2 cup apple juice into a bowl and mix in cinnamon, brown sugar and nutmeg; pour over sweet potatoes.

Cover slow cooker and cook on low 4-5 hours or until potatoes are soft and tender (it will depend on how hot your slow cooker cooks and how big/small you chopped your potatoes).

When potatoes are cooked through, blend the sweet potatoes inside your slow cooker with a hand mixer or mash with a potato masher.

Depending on what texture you want for your potatoes, you can add up to 1/2 cup of remaining apple juice – I usually add a few tablespoons at a time and mash them again until I get the consistency I want.

Season with more cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.

Top with pecans* and serve.

*Note: These are the exact pecans we used for this recipe

Questions & Reviews

Krystina says:

Oh goodness... You had me at Crock Pot and sealed the deal w/ sweet potato mash!! Delish! Pinning it immediately. AND! I just started playing around with My Recipe Magic a few days ago and I've gotta say I love it. As someone who just went through a bunch of weight loss and is now trying to maintain, it's important that I attempt to eat and cook more than just salads and grilled chicken and having the nutritional information so readily accessible is awesome!! Cannot wait to keep messing with it! *Krystina Seatofmyshorts.com

Heather says:

Many times I scroll through a recipe and I think, oh no, not for me, or don't have that or this, looks too hard. I caught myself saying aloud, I can make that! Tank you.

Jen @ Layersofhappiness.com says:

Happy Tuesday.....I LOVE sweet potatoes but have never cooked them in the crock pot. I struggle with having them during the week because they take so long to cook..........but now that I have this recipe and idea I will be able to! Thanks for sharing.

Kathleen W says:

What do you suggest serving as a main dish with this? I have never made sweet potatoes (besides fries) other than a holiday! Lame, but I like mine to taste like dessert and I try not to make them everyday!

Cyd says:

Any chicken or turkey dish would be great. Go to our sister site MyRecipeMagic.com and type in chicken or turkey in the search bar and lots of recipes will come up that would go great with crock pot sweet potato mash. http://myrecipemagic.com/home/recipes

Breeze H says:

Pork chops! Also, I'd add salt & pepper... Well, salt for sure and possibly would do a version without sugar but add pepper... Savory instead of sweet. Also, brown sugar if the sweet version like this recipe is.

Beth says:

If I triple the recipe, how long should I cook it for?

Cyd says:

If you triple the recipe, you will need more than one crock pot. The cooking time would be increased by a little with more in the crock pot. But tripling the recipe will probably not fit well or cook well if put in one crock pot.

Judy Mark says:

What size crockpot do you use?

Cyd says:

Most of us have 6 or 7 quart slow cookers.
