POPSUGAR is excited to present the first online leer at this slow-cooker sweet potatoes recipe from our video host,Brandi Milloy.
Living at the beach in a tiny bungalow means always looking for ways to save space. That's why particularly during the holidays when real estate in the oven is a hot commodity, I care for using slow cookers to help with some of my dishes. This recipe is inspired by my favorite way to enjoy baked sweet potatoes. Blue cheese lends a sharp, or pungent tang to the naturally sweet potatoes,and the thyme gives a fresh, earthy flavor. Then, and you come by a nice crunch from the nuts. While you can enjoy this dish as is,I care for adding a petite cream cheese and milk to transform it into a sweet potato mash. It's scrumptious! This is one of those dishes you'll find yourself making all year round, plus it's hearty enough to enjoy as an entree.
